lyrics

With a ways to go, when the boats are slow and the daytime's losing light
If I live to see us sailing free, I swear I'll do what's right
With no regrets or unplaced bets still hanging up over me
Hey mister, make some headway I can see

With no means to fail, I will ride the rails on the continent's divide
Where I hail from you take what comes if you really do want to ride
By diesel force we set our course through forest, outcrop and field
We're moving now, I can hear those big iron wheels

Lost and waylayed at the crossroad, where the sun is going down
Now you might see the best in me, but I have no explanation for
Her fingertips up my sleeve

There's a Greyhound seat, I'm in line to meet, I'm here looking out for the sign
If I fall asleep, I can travel cheap to Ontario's north pine
When morning breaks, the cold Great Lakes are shining up through the trees
Halfway home, I may make it by degrees

Lost and waylayed at the crossroad, where the moon is riding high
Now you might see the best in me, but I'm sitting in this hotel room
Well she said I might need the key

Like a hard luck Joe, when the cash is low, where the river meets with the tide
Take it as it comes, when you ride your thumb, when it's the only way to get by
A midnight run on one-oh-one and take my word she was looking fine
She rescued me from one more closing time

Lost and waylayed at the crossroad with the big sky filled with stars
Now you might see the best in me, but we pulled into this motor inn
Well she was getting too tired to see

With a ways to go, when the boats are slow and the sun is up on the rise
I'll jump this strait as to not be late when the rumours I've come arrive
Now you might see the best of me, I'll leave the dusty road behind
This only son's reworked the grand design
