The Road

[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
