Ron Sexsmith Lyrics
"Snake Road"

When I think about those dog days,
I was doing everybody wrong,
Couldn't keep my thoughts straight
Couldn'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 judgment
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, oh.

Bad advice, bad advice.
