Don't let me bring you down When I'm too tough to be around Just walk right on by and don't look back There's a lonely man with eyes of stone He's seen more trouble than you'll ever know A piece of him got left behind just walk on by Cause it's 40 miles of bad road And I got troubles on my mind It's 40 miles of bad road And you ain't got the time so walk on by When you catch me feeling low Don't ask unless you wanna know When you see it in my eyes just turn and go Thinking bout driving through the desert tonight Don't know if it'll help but it just might I'm a million miles away just walk on by Cause it's 40 miles of bad road And I got troubles on my mind It's 40 miles of bad road And you ain't got the time so walk on by Do you wanna take drive Is that what it takes to make you feel alive You got your own problems and brother I got mine Cause we all know that's the way it goes And we all know that it's a long bad road And sometimes I think t hat's all we'll ever know Cause it's 40 miles of bad road And I got troubles on my mind It's 40 miles of bad road And you ain't got the time so walk on by
