It’s easy to get on the old Fowler road
The landscape inviting. Two lanes semi-wide
Spanning the farm land connecting horizons
Twixt green fields on the countryside
Til the 40s, the train stopped every day
Opportunity got in on the last load
Now far away, if you seek it today
A long ways away on the old Fowler road
Heading west or heading east
Two directions essentially the same
Connected to the place you have to reach
If opportunity is your aim
Roads have maps and directions
But you must know where you want to go
Opportunity hides in many places
A long ways away on the old Fowler road
Roads and journeys are not the same
A road is just asphalt or stone
But a journey requires movement
You may travel with others, but your journey’s alone
And when you have made your journey
And have the world by the throat
Remember the path you traveled
On the old Fowler road
