The Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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, where 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 [Chorus] Hey gonna roll away Won't be coming round again Hey with a song, I pray And on the wings of a song I'll fly away [Verse 2] 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 to me, put it to some use Went 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 he put me on that pathway, how could I refuse? And I have spent my whole life out here working on the blues [Verse 3] So I 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 [Chorus] Hey gonna fly way Won't be coming round again Hey with a song, I pray And on the wings of a song I'll fly away [Outro] I'll fly away I'll fly away I love you
