The Road

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
