Down The Road

THERE’S A PLACE THAT I WENT TO ALL THE TIME
BIRDS AND TREES AND A FENCE WE LIKED TO CLIMB
OUT ‘TIL DARK, ‘TIL MY BROTHER CAME TO ME
SAID COME HOME, AS I CLIMBED THAT OLD OAK TREE

HIGH SCHOOL DANCE WITH SOME NEW FOUND FRIENDS OF MINE
HAVING FUN BY THE GYM COURT FOUL LINE
HELD HER HANDS, IT WAS LOVE TO ME BACK THEN
STOLE MY HEART, WHEN WE WERE BOTH BARELY TEN

DOWN THE ROAD, EVERYTHING WAS CLOSE TO ME
ALL MY LIFE EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
DOWN THE ROAD, IT WAS NEVER FAR AWAY
THAT’S WHY I’VE DECIDED THIS IS WHERE I’M GONNA STAY

ALL GROWN UP WITH A COUPLE KIDS OF MINE
LIFE IS GOOD, I SEE GOD’S BLESSINGS ALL THE TIME
SAME HOMETOWN, I NEVER LEFT A DAY FROM HERE
CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, SEEMS THEY ALL JUST DISSAPEARED

DOWN THE ROAD, EVERYTHING WAS CLOSE TO ME
ALL MY LIFE EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
DOWN THE ROAD, IT WAS NEVER FAR AWAY
THAT’S WHY I’VE DECIDED THIS IS WHERE I’M GONNA STAY

OLD AND GRAY, LIFE’S BEEN GOOD TO ME SO FAR
SAME OLD HOUSE AND I’VE GOT THE SAME OLD CAR
SOMEDAY SOON, I’M GOING AWAY TO MEET THE LORD
DOWN THE ROAD IS WHERE MY BODY WILL BE STORED

DOWN THE ROAD, EVERYTHING WAS CLOSE TO ME
ALL MY LIFE EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
DOWN THE ROAD, IT WAS NEVER FAR AWAY
THAT’S WHY I’VE DECIDED THIS IS WHERE I’M GONNA STAY

THAT’S WHY I’VE DECIDED THIS IS WHERE I’M GONNA STAY

DOWN THE ROAD
