lyrics

An old man once had told me
Son, don't stick around
Don't pass your time under barroom lights
Just a'dreaming in this town
You'll end up on the shelf
Dusty, old, and gray
Or you might end like a bottle
Broke and empty in this way

So don't take me home
I ain't coming back
There's a life somewhere
Further down the track
That shows me that place
Where the river runs
Where skies of blue
Have just begun

Now the leaves fall on the backporch
Rain won't ever end
The stars won't shine and the wind just wines
Alone without a friend
I think about the home road
And how it let me down
Stuck behind and lonesome
Ain't a hope here to be found

I remember on the night
When all was said and done
I'd hum a tune then drink a few
And head out on the run
City lights behind
Highway sign again
Well there ain't a place where a restless man
Can rest his weary head
