Old Road Home
Every one of my earthly possessions is inside this car
And the fuel gauge on empty usually decided how far
We go today
So I scratch through the ashtray and see what I got there in change
Just enough to go 'round, getting me where I'm going today
I'm on the old road home
Four signs till I hit my town
If memories were rivers, I'd drown
But I'd go down smiling
Every burden I carried I left on the track
Life is too short to hold feelings like that
With the sun on my face , it's so good to be back
On the old road home
On the old road home
They built the new highway that bypassed the places I knew
I remember that old service station at Woodburn
I coasted in one night on fumes
Now when I see the old cane fires burn near Maclean
I know it won't be long till I'm turning on Big River Way
Back on the old road home
Three signs till I hit my town
If memories were rivers, I'd drown
But I'd go down smiling, yes, I would
Letras de cancionesEvery burden I carried I left on the track
Life is too short to hold feelings like that
With the sun on my face, it's so good to be back
On the old road home
On the old road home
I pull off the highway like I've always done
Still feeling like I'm twenty-five
Leaf-covered memories that ain't seen a tyre in a while
Where the dappled light shines
Back on the old road home
Two signs till I hit my town
If memories were rivers, I'd drown
But I'd go down smiling, yes, I would
Every burden I carried I left on the track
Life is too short to hold feelings like that
With the sun on my face, it's so good to be back
On the old road home
I'm on the old road home
I'm on the old road home
One sign till I hit my town
If memories were rivers, I'd drown
But I'd go down smiling, yes, I would
