The Road

Lyrics

I can still remember
 Every song you played
 Long ago when we were younger
 And we rocked the night away
 How could I see a future then
 Or you would not grow old
 With such a fire in our belly
 Such a hunger in our souls
 I guess I probably loved you
 When those words rolled off your tongue
 Seemed that we were traveling
 Under some old lucky sun
 I know I couldn't save you
 And no one was to blame
 But the road we shared together once
 Will never be the same
 
 Hey, gone a long way
 Won't be coming 'round again
 Hey, with a song I pray
 And on wings of a song I'll fly away
 I wandered in the wilderness
 For a while, I was so lost
 To everything there is a season
 And every blessing has its cost
 So I took what you left me
 Put it to some use
 When looking for an answer
 With those three chords and the truth
 I come down from the mountain
 I come walking in your shoes
 I was taken for a gambler
 When I had no more to lose
 For you put me on that pathway
 How could I refuse
 And I've spend my whole life out here
 Working on the blues
 
 Hey, hey, hey
 Hey, hey, hey
 ♪
 So I've carried on
 You can't be haunted by the past
 People come, people go
 And nothing ever lasts
 But I still think about you
 Wonder where you are
 Can you see me from some place
 Up there among the stars?
 ♪
 But down here under heaven
 There never was a chart
 To guide our way across
 This crooked highway of the heart
 And if it's only all about
 The journey in the end
 On that road I'm glad
 I came to know you, my old friend
 Hey, gone a long way
 Won't be coming 'round again
 Hey, with a song I pray
 And on wings of a song I'll fly away
 I'll fly away
 I'll fly away
 
 I'll fly away
 ♪
 Oh, oh
