Snake Road - Ron Sexsmith

When I think about those dog days

I was doing everybody wrong

Couldn’t keep my thoughts straight

Coudln’t keep my trousers on

Now I pray it’s not too late

To take the chance before it’s gone

That I don’t go down that same road twice

That I won’t be taking Satan’s advice

I must admit I’ve paid that price

But I’m saying goodbye to bad advice

People you can save your judgement

For somebody who might give a damn

Go and blow your two cents

On a horn in a traffic jam

At any rate it’s much too late to blame myself for who I am

Just hope I don’t go down that snake road twice

That I won’t be taking another bite

I must admit temptation’s nice

But I’m saying goodbye to bad advice, oh

You, bad advice

I’m always making the same mistake

All this taking is hard to take

When I think about bygone days

I was doing everybody wrong

Always taking the long way

And ending up where I don’t belong

Now I pray it’s not too late to change the path I’m running on

Oh I hope I don’t go down that same road twice

That I won’t be taking Satan’s advice

I hope the memories will suffice

But I’m saying goodbye

I hope I don’t go down that snake road twice

That I won’t be taking another bite

I hope the memories will suffice

But I’m saying goodbye

I must admit temptation’s nice

But I’m saying goodbye to bad advice

I’m saying goodbye to bad advice, ohh

Bad advice, bad advice
