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
Where you would not grow old
With such a fire in our bellies
Such a fire in our soul
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 comin' 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 us a season
And every blessing has its cost
So I took what you left me
Put it to some use
Went looking for an answer
With those 3 chords 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 spent my whole life out here
Workin' on the blues
Hey, hey, gonna fly away
Won't be comin' round today
Hey, hey, with a song I pray
And on the wings of a song I'll fly away
So I carried on
You can't be haunted by the past
People come and people go
And nothin' 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, hey, gonna fly away
Won't be comin' round today
Hey, hey, with a song I pray
And on the wings of a song I'll fly away
