The Beaten Path Lyrics - The Good Life

Yesterday came and went and I wasn't present 

The weeks were laid out like pavement 

Work and drink and sleep, repeat 

Upon the beaten path 

I kept on my blinders... 

don't need any old reminders 

No face. No Name. No memories. 

If you love it, you leave it 

'cause you hate that you need it 

It's the one thing you can't have 

you're too self absorbed to change 

always, "My way." 

Tomorrow could come and go 

and I'd sleep right through it 

I'm not searching for self improvement 

I'm sticking to the beaten path 

Here and there I come across an old acquaintance- 

some old flame, some old burn victim 

I remember I need to forget 

everything I ever said to you 

If I could take it back- 

I'd eat every word 

You want to feel like all those others feel, 

but you won't- and you never will 

All that you love you lose 

You do.
