It all began when Dr. Kim pulled on my feet.
And before you knew it, there’s a flash of light on Union St..
By the time I could walk, I stood up straight and tall.
Tried to fly off the piano,…the concrete broke my fall.
I been down roads. I been down rivers and roads.
I have no regrets, nor I long for the days of old.
Ridin’ double on the bike and cruisin’ St. Mary’s Drive.
Struck by a Valiant, my bro and I we almost died.
When they arrived on the scene, I was flat out on my back.
They ran past me cuz the driver had a heart attack.
I been down roads. I been down rivers and roads.
I have no regrets, nor I long for the days of old.
I been down roads. I been down rivers and roads.
When I sat next to you and saw the tears fill up your eyes.
That’s when I knew It was time for me to say goodbye.
Tried to follow you out where the river meets the sea.
Only to wake up beached where a wave came and saved me.
I been down roads. I been down rivers and roads.
I have no regrets, nor I long for the days of old.
I been down roads. I been down rivers and roads. etc..
