The Road You Left Behind Letra

I remember the night my dad stopped the carAnd got out in the rainChanged a blown out tire on a carFor a family with out of state platesI said dad did we know those folksAs they waved and drove out of sightHe just smiled as he started the carHe said son not 'til tonightYou see the road you leave behind youIs another road you're gonna have to come back downIt's just the way this big old world turns 'roundYou'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometimeYou gotta go back down the road you leave behindStuck out on the highway one nightMany years gone byHad the hood of my truck pulled upMy ol' gas tank was drySome ol' guy gettin' off on the night shiftPulled up to check on meHe said I been in your shoes before sonAnd it's no place to beYou see the road you leave behind youIs another road you're gonna have to come back downIts' just the way this big old world turns 'roundYou'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometimeYou gotta go back down the road you leave behindI said what do I owe you friend you could easily passed me byHe said next time it might be me son you don't me a dimeYou see the road you leave behind youIs another road you're gonna have to come back downIt's just the way this big old world turns 'roundYou'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometimeYou gotta go back down the road you leave behind
