Six of One

Kicking cans down cobblestones
Trying to make my way
Who cares if that sun ain't shining?
I'm still making hay

Half-past five I call the light
When that siren blows
Close my eyes and follow
Wherever the music goes

Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other
You go your way
I'll go another and I'll
I'll see you down the road

There's better weather to be found
Before I end up in the ground
I gotta take a look around
Before I'm downward bound

I can reach and I can dream
And rise above it all
I can build a ladder
Every time they build a wall

Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other
You go your way
I'll go another and I'll
See you down the road

Tuesdays, Mondays, month of Sundays
Thursdays, Fridays, goin' sideways
I was seconds free to beckon
I forgot mine explodes
I'll see you down the road

And when at last we meet again
We'll stop and reminisce
'Bout our lives and those we've had
The ones that we'll always risk

I'll hold your hand we'll walk awhile
Like we did those years ago
One more mile, together
Before we let each other go

Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other
You go your way
I'll go another and I'll
See you down the road
