Lyrics

Optical Illusion
(By Eric Erdman and Bo Roberts)

I've been down that long alluring highway
The one that's paved with promise of success
I wasted my days on a never ending chase
Of Dreams I never will possess

The road is an Optical Illusion
Don't it look flat as far as the eye can see?
The road is an Optical Illusion
It's got its ups and downs.
Believe me.

I spent so many years out chasing rainbows
But every time I would reach that rainbow's end
The pot of gold was gone
And I'd find myself upon
Another wrong path again

The road is an Optical Illusion
Don't it look flat as far as the eye can see?
The road is an Optical Illusion
It's got its ups and downs.
Believe me.

The road is an Optical Illusion
It'll make you see things that just ain't there
The road is an Optical Illusion
And it's left me here in the middle of nowhere
