The cold air makes it harder to breathe
As you and I we watch the sky over Long Island trees
And the winter makes it harder to be
The person that I know is somewhere deep inside of me
I'm always five steps ahead
While missing out on the past tense
So I'll spend another night on this Old Country Road
And sing along to all the songs that help my mind unload
Familiar sights and red stop lights remind me where to go
Until the nighttime fades away
Again I am alone
And I am taking up more space then I ever planned to
I am nothing but dead weight in your living room
I'm always five steps ahead
While missing out on the past tense
So I'll spend another night on this Old Country Road
And sing along to all the songs that help my mind unload
Familiar sights and red stop lights remind me where to go
Until the nighttime fades away
Again I am alone
No more riding on fences
It's who I was or who I am
The price is much too expensive
Trying to mean something to them
An open wound of times and dates
Of things to which I can't relate
Waiting for my back to break
Dragging all of this dead weight
A place in which I cannot feel
Without the thoughts that I conceal
Where not a single thing is real
So I'll spend another night on this Old Country Road
And sing along to all the songs that help my mind unload
Familiar sights and red stop lights remind me where to go
Until the nighttime fades away
Again I am alone
I'll always be alone
