18th Avenue (Kansas City Nightmare)

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so Down the road to the eighteenth avenue And the people I saw were the people I know And they all came down to take a view Oh the path was dark and borderless Down the road to the eighteenth avenue And it stung my tongue to repeat the words That I used to use only yesterday Meanings just dropped to the ground I tried to remember what I thought And what I used to say don't let me go down no don't let me go Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside The empty waste of another day Memories were blank to my eyes The fire and the glory of that night Seemed safely locked away Too hungry to rise too hungry to Well I rode a while, for a mile or so Down the road to the eighteenth avenue And the people I saw were the people I know And they all came down to take a view Oh the path was dark and borderless Down the road to the eighteenth avenue But my head felt better as I turned the car And the airport slowly came to view One mile said the sign Checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22 Made it just in time, boy you've made it just in time
