Lyrics
ONE WAY STREET word&music by Jane Held
I've driven on a One Way Street too long I gotta
Find someone to help me sing my song
To harmonize the feelings in me
To put a rhythm on an old melody, yes I've
Driven on a One Way Street too long
Driven on a One Way Street too long
I've taken the same old road back home, don't know
Where else to turn, where else to roam, gonna
Put down my news and the TV blues
Write myself a letter saying
Hope you feel better 'cause I've
Driven on a One Way Street too long, (drivin'drivin'drivin')
Driven on a One Way Street too long
(Instrumental)
I'm gonna take the highway right out of town and leave my
Old time friends and their settlin' down, leave the Stalemate systems of Black on White gonna
Find a new way of feelin' allright 'cause I've
Driven on a One Way Street too long...
(drivin'drivin'drivin')
Driven on a One Way Street too long...(don't you know that I've)
Driven on a One Way Street too long.
