In days when I rode on the wind
I'd find a town, begin to look at life as green,
New in town routine
Just as I would settle in my
Feet would hit the ground again while wondering,
for a different scene
Now my heels left the pedal feel the motor between my toes
You to think that I was something still something I supposess
But do you still see my silhouette when your lashes start to close I'd like to know, -i
Oh Roberta, where have you gone
All the nights when I'd be up to late
And you'd catch me in my altered state of consciousness
And I'd confess
All my inner thoughts of fear and shame
The way you spoke my name you'd boost my confidence
like a soft caress
I'm hear clear left of center on the unrideable road
Wish I knew the way that I was supposed to go
But I'm still the same old fool you used to know,
Oh Roberta where have you gone
It's been years since we said goodbye
Your cheeks were wet, my mouth was dry
And I recalled I never seen you cry before
Haven't seen you since I walked out your door
Well life's been up and down since then
I think its moving up again thats life I guess
A long sting of tests
I don't look for you in other
People like I used to do thats dangerous
And my soul needs a rest
And I don't know what time it is or the town I'm sleeping in
Pray I might get frightened should I see your face again
But I turn back on my heels and spin around
Oh Roberta where are you know
