lyrics

The Road Home

Driving the old truck on the dusty road,
Laughing, dreaming, counting stars.
They were two young girls dreamin’ of the future,
One was blond and the other one dark.
They were driving along telling stories,
Watching deer run and eagles fly,
Crackin’ up about pretty much nothing,
With no one wondering “why”?

Life was fine, so much fun,
All the troubles unknown,
They weren’t alone,
Driving along,
On the road home…

They grew older though in different worlds,
But their dreams they stayed the same.
“We will always stay close and live together,
In the City of Fame.”
Summers came and went away again,
And one came that was your last,
You went away to Heaven,
Leaving our mem’ries in the past…

The world changed, was empty now,
For all those who were left behind,
It’s not fair for you to be gone so early!
You were gentle and kind!

It was strange, but so true,
I felt so close to you,
And when I feel alone,
You’re always there,
With me on that road home…

And when I look out at the sunset
See a child’s dark eyes smile at me,
Then I see your face, remember those days,
And I’ll crave the need … to take the road home….
