The Road

I can still remember Every song you played Long ago when we were younger And we'd rock the night away How could I see your future then Where you would not grow old With such a fire in our bellies Such a hunger in our souls. I guess I probably loved you When those words rolled off your tongue It seemed that we were travelin' Under some ol' 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, hey gonna fly away Won't be coming round today Hey, hey with a song I pray And on the 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 it's cost So I took what you left me And put it to some use Went looking for an answer With those three cords and the truth I come down from the mountain I come walkin' in your shoes I was taken for a gambler When I had no more to lose 'Cause you put me on that pathway How could I refuse? And I spend my whole life out here Workin' on the blues So I carried on. You can't be haunted by the past. People come and 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 My old friend. Hey Gone away Won't be coming round again Hey With a song I pray And on the wings of a song I'll fly away I'll fly away I'll fly away
