The Road Songtext / Lyric

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
