I’ll Let Roy’s Song Carry Me Home

I'm not a wannabe cowboy
And I'm not at home on the range
I like to fish, but that's about it
And Cowboy hats make me feel strange
But the road took a turn that surprised me
And I'm more than just down on my luck
If I was a drinkin’ man, I'd probably take my van
Down to the bar that's surrounded by trucks
Though I never liked country songs much

So I can't soothe my soul in a bottle
My woman I'd never forsake
I'm not church goin' and God isn't showin’ me
Where guys like me catch a break
So I'm here on the highway just drivin'
But I'm feelin' Roy Rogers nearby
He's smilin’ at me and singing a melody
And I'll be damned if I know why
It kind of makes me wanna cry

And the wind is whispering a farewell, all night long
But there's something comforting me in this darkness
It sounds in my head like some old country song

I stop for gas and pick up a soda
I pull back onto Route 70
A deep brand of lonely got his arms round me
This ain't how the end's supposed to be
But then Roy and Trigger are with me
And showin' the trail I should go
This one ain't happy as I hoped it could be
But I don't feel so all alone
I'll let Roy's song carry me home
