I've been on this road before
Don't want to be on this road anymore
This road will lead me nowhere
And, if I about myself care, I'll not go there

I don't want to be on a bumpy road again
Where I feel like I can't be a woman
I don't want to get stuck in a pothole
And the tire will be the one to take the toll
If I "drive" on this road, that is
Because walking, right now, doesn't seem to be missed

I don't want to be stopped by a stop sign when I want to continue to go
I don't want to be stopped by a red light; that is my foe
I want to continue to walk or drive
I want to continue to feel alive

So, this road isn't for me
Even though it might not be easy to see
I know that there's another road around the corner that fits me perfectly
One that'll take me where I need to be
