lyrics

There's an old back road that lingers in my memory
Resting near the times that time forgot
And I used to take it fast enough to kill me
And let the potholes tell me where to stop

But now the road is paved and bathed in streetlight
And the gravel's buried underneath the tar
And the cul-de-sacs are clearly marked by street signs
There's no solace for a speeder in the dark.

There's some wrinkles sippin' whisky in the dim light
of the barely standing, broken local bar
And the amber of his drink paints a dusty, frozen sigh
as he sips away the ache in his heart

I still recall the twists and turns before the sprawl
of urban moms and trust fund transplants looking for a call
paved the way for yesterday to be as silent as the fall, paved the way for nothing at all

As time keeps ticking on I'll be gone, gone, gone
This road keeps trucking on; I am gone, gone, gone
This place just makes me wish I was gone, gone, gone
Back to where I'm sure I belong
