Highway Donkey

Highway Donkey

Millencolin
(album: Pennybridge Pioneers)

When I was younger I did not know how to be.
I lived my own lie and I never asked the questions why.
I always talked and dressed like everyone ´round me.
Where were my own view and my own thoughts?
I don´t have a clue.

Insecurity, no confidence that was my style.
I did some false things,
you´d say I was playing the wrong strings.
To realize and see how lost I was, it took a while.
But it was worth it
´cause now I´m much more confident and fit.

I´m not going down the highway,
´cause I had the might to stop
and turn around before it was too late.
Instead I´m slowly going my way
and if I don´t reach the top,
I still got loads here I appreciate.

Just because I´m older now
does not mean I´m complete.
Yeah, I still have got fear,
it´s not as strong but it´s still here.
And I´m confused at times,
but now I know where to put my feet.
Right in my own trail,
that´s the only place if I don´t wanna fall.
