Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time that I close my eyes imagining
My mind seems to wander off in time
I picture myself a house upon a hill, yeah
But children out playin', an old man, he is standing still
[Verse 2]
Standing there thinkin' 'bout the good ol' days
Chances he took, and the mistakes he made
The voice and the beer, and the enchanted wall
He put a ring on her finger
And suddenly, he had a wife
[Verse 3]
Now he's drivin' down familiar roads
Just hanging out for old friends to find
Drivin' through his hometown streets
But he feels he's been runnin' blind, eh
[Verse 4]
He had a dream about a better life
He's been savin' it up for rainy days
He worked just to find the years passed him by, eh
His grandchildren are playin' 'round
Grandaddy is standing still
[Verse 5]
Can find him
Drivin' down familiar roads
Just hanging out for old friends to find
Drivin' through his hometown streets
But he feels he's been runnin' blind
Ridin' on the edge of old dreams
Trying to find a way back in again
Back into the house on a hill
He calls his own
Calls his own
[Verse 6]
He used to run, but now he's learned to crawl
Feelin' much too small (Feelin' much too small)
He says he's seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall (Feelin' much too small)
And have to learn how to climb a mountain
To get back on the top again
Back into the house on a hill
You call your own
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 7]
You've been drivin' down familiar roads
Just hanging out for old friends to find
Drivin' through his hometown streets
But you feel you've been runnin' blind
Ridin' on the edge of a dream
Trying to find a way back in again
Back into the house on a hill
You call your own
Yes, you do, now
[Verse 8]
You've been drivin' down familiar roads
Just hanging out for old friends to find
Drivin' through your hometown streets
Where your hopes have been left behind
Feel you've been left behind
[Verse 9]
(Drivin' down familiar roads)
(Just hangin' out for old friends to find)
Oh, runnin' blind, you've been runnin' blind
(Drivin' through your hometown streets)
(But you feel you've been runnin' blind) Whoa
You've been a-runnin' blind
[Verse 10]
(Drivin' down familiar roads)
(Just hangin' out for old friends to find)
Climb that mountain
Get up on the top again
(Drivin' through your hometown streets)
(But you feel you've been runnin' blind) Yeah, yeah
