lyrics

Back Road to Your Heart
© 2002, Sue Fink

I’m driving down the highway to your heart
My car is gassed, the music’s on, I’ve gone well past the start
But a sign up ahead says this road is closed for good
It’s fallen into disrepair, stop now, nobody should
Venture further, for there’s danger, bridge is out, it’s a dead end
Detour: take the next turn, it leads to being just a friend

[Chorus]
I’m pulling out maps and directions
From the main road I must part
And if it can be done, I know I am the one
To try and find the back road to your heart

Seems like there’s construction everywhere
How come you didn’t warn me, you just said you want me there
You neglected to mention all these potholes and blockades
The alligators in the ditches haven’t snacked for days
The mountains are mirages, these paths do not exist
‘Cause just like in a fairy tale, the gravel turns to mist

[Chorus]

I shall prevail, I shall prevail
I think I see the end in sight just down this twisted trail
I shall prevail, I shall prevail
‘Cause when I think of turning back, that’s when I hear you wail

[Chorus]

Her genre, “urban campfire cabaret,” is folk with a hint of jazz, a large dollop of humor, and a drop of sadness for good measure: think Christine Lavin, with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones, Melanie, and Nellie McKay. ... more
