You think you’re walking down a dead end street
Your ego’s talking but you can’t compete
A hunter stalking for his winter meat
But it’s just a bone

You heard the story how the west was won
The second coming of the favorite son
He’s counting down the ending three two one
On a microphone

No wrong answers
You’re stuck in your mind
On questions meant to keep you under
Woke from a daydream
Starting to find
How many roads can carry you home

You gave your all before you lost your luck
On the flatbed of a pickup truck
Now you’re down and out but stuck
On a broken trampoline

There’s a monkey riding on your back
Ever since you left your shotgun shack
Shake him off before you fade to black
Like a tv screen

No wrong answers
You’re stuck in your mind
On questions meant to keep you under
Woke from a daydream
Starting to find
How many roads can carry you home

Pages missing from your favorite book
Songs repeating no refrain or hook
The confirmation lessons never took
To your mom’s chagrin

But see the writing on the western wall
About the mysteries of life and all
The seven sirens you can hear them call
When the night begins

No wrong answers
You’re stuck in your mind
On questions meant to keep you under
Woke from a daydream
Starting to find
The kinds of clues that make you wonder

No wrong answers
You’re stuck in your mind
On questions meant to keep you under
Woke from a daydream
Starting to find
How many roads can carry you home
