Well I've been cleaning out my closet To make room for all my wrongs And I've been dusting off my dress shoes More mistakes before too long But I've been trying to change my ways child Even talked about cutting my hair And you know I never blamed you Even once you left me dear May your path be unbroken And your patience be strong Cause I've gone on the nothing Like you said all along But at least I am trying Yeah I wrote you this song May your path be unbroken And your patience be strong For your beauty still carries me home All alone And I've thrown out my dirty books dear Those girls don't get no more of my time And I've been looking for new friends child Do more than drink and smoke and lie And I've been talking about listening And I've been thinking about trying To find out why the girls are frowning At everything that's got me smiling May your path be unbroken And your patience be strong Cause I've gone on the nothing Like you said all along But at least I am trying Yeah I wrote you this song May your path be unbroken And your patience be strong For your beauty still carries me home All alone And if you find yourself alone And your radio's out of tune Don't forget that childish sadness Of your song May your path be unbroken And your patience be strong Cause I've gone on the nothing Like you said all along But at least I am trying Yeah I wrote you this song May your path be unbroken And your patience be strong For your beauty still carries me home All alone
