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
