<font color=red>My Dual Carriageway has gone
The Free-way Life did not exist
That route was never one for me
I've always wanted company
Yet even when I travelled on winding roads
Or always drove ahead just straight
I never got the directions right
Life was just a One-way street
I never wanted to drive solo
Companionship was what I hoped
But, although I still would take the journey
And travel with them coast to coast
I never got to make the trip
My license always was revoked
I've driven the same roads all my life
Never swerved or lost control
Was never one to deviate
Through potholes and diversions rife
The map I followed it was right
But still I'm on a One-Way street
The woman pondered on her thoughts
As she sat with the engine idling
If she had taken another road
Would it have been any different?
No, she thought, as she drove off
For the last time
Her Love was just a One-Way Street
