No Use Running Don Williams

The weather vane out on the shed
Is looking to the west
I reckon I'll head that way
It's good as any way I guess
Closing this old gate kinda ends our episode
'Cause there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road

Gal, it wouldn't take much
For someone to define
All the contradicting flashes
That burn across our minds
But there's no way to communicate
If you don't know the code
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road

--- Instrumental ---

There's times I get to thinking
About the way it might have been
And I wonder how we got
To this state that were in
But every word we spoke
Only added to the load
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road
