Empty Road Lyrics
Throw away your anger
Throw away the sheath
Charge and spike your heavy guns
Because that ain’t no kind of belief
Dream of where it left you
When you were still too young
To know the difference between the faith in your heart
And the politics of looking dumb
It’s all I know
This empty road
It keeps me looking for a place in your heart
It’s all I know
Said brother are you weary?
Said sister are you safe?
Has this world got you thinking
That it ain’t nothing but jailers cage?
Well child there ain’t no worries
And child it ain’t no thing
Because this world’s too old to hate you
And too young to give up spring
It’s all I know
This empty road
It keeps me looking for a place in your heart
It’s all I know
Throw away the sheath
Charge and spike your heavy guns
Because that ain’t no kind of belief
When you were still too young
To know the difference between the faith in your heart
And the politics of looking dumb
This empty road
It keeps me looking for a place in your heart
It’s all I know
Said brother are you weary?
Said sister are you safe?
Has this world got you thinking
That it ain’t nothing but jailers cage?
And child it ain’t no thing
Because this world’s too old to hate you
And too young to give up spring
This empty road
It keeps me looking for a place in your heart
It’s all I know

This Song is amazing
Despite it's thematic lacking, Matthew Good's White Light Rock And Roll Review is an excellent showcase of great songwriting and performing, and possibly 2004's best album. The songs display Good's venomous delivery (Alert Status Red), tongue-in-cheek sarcasm (Put Out Your Lights) and soft melodies (Empty Road) in a way that brings to mind (and surpasses) 1999's Beautiful Midnight.
