In The Journey - Martin Sexton

Met an old friend last night, had a cup of coffee

We talked about all the things that had been going on

We talked about the old days, we talked about the new days

We talked just about anything but what was really going on

After ten long minutes that slowly passed us by

The tension in the air I could cut it with a knife

Staring out the window and gazing at the menu

Suddenly he called my name and he looked me in the eye

He said, «I don’t know where I’m going and I don’t know where I’ve been.

And there’s one long road that I traveled just to see you again.

I said I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been.

And it seems I got a little trouble and I need you my friend.»

And then he talked to me, he really talked to me

He said, «I've been thinking about all of my drinking.

About all those good things I’ve just let slip away.

First it was a good job and then it was the woman that I loved.

Then it was my car and all the material things.»

And suddenly tears welled up as he did surrender

He cried, «I finally lost the only thing I ever really had.»

He said, «I lost myself in the madness.»

And now I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been

And it’s one long road that I traveled to see you again

No, I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been

And it seems I got a little trouble and I need to talk to you again

Oh, it’s in the journey that we see there’s no destination

It’s in the journey that we find our true love

It’s in the journey that we learn we can do it alone, can do it alone

Still gotta dig deep down inside and lose my pride

Well we don’t know where we’re going

We don’t know just where we’ve been

We gotta dig deep down inside

Can’t do it alone

We gotta dig deep down inside
