Old Roads

“So…here’s the thing,” said Jonny,

As he cracked himself a can

He said, “It looks like El Dorado

Is back where it began.

‘Cause we traveled ‘round this country

Turning metal into gold,

But when we needed inspiration-

Down these dusty streets we rolled

Now we know”

 

Through all the storms we might weather

I hope we all get together

‘Til we die

‘Til we die

 

Sometimes you wanna drive them old roads

As the stereo explodes

You’re looking back on all your teenage episodes

And as you kick back and drive

The memories come alive

Everything you’re carrying unloads

Drive them old roads

Drive them old roads

 

Over mountains I am climbing

In oceans, I have swam

There’s a little town I come from

It’s part of who I am

Through every passing season

After every setting sun

There’s a home that I come back to

After living on the run

There’s only one

 

Through all the storms we might weather

I hope we all get together

‘Til we die

‘Til we die

 

Sometimes you wanna drive them old roads

As the stereo explodes

You’re looking back on all your teenage episodes

And as you kick back and drive

The memories come alive

Everything you’re carrying unloads

Drive them old roads

Drive them old roads

 

Sometimes you wanna drive them old roads

As the stereo explodes

You’re looking back on all your teenage episodes

And as you kick back and drive

The memories come alive

Everything you’re carrying unloads

Drive them old roads

Drive them old roads
