Back To The Road

Cold, half-bare trees
And the leaves
Are still falling
In the breeze
The highway is calling
Singing to me

My ears are filled
Autumn's air is chilled
I can't be still
I've got to get back to the road

I got the stamp
But I never
Sent The letter
I just wanted to say
I hope you get better
I pray it's soon

My ears are filled
Autumn's air is chilled
I can't be still
I've got to get back to the road

Tell my children
Their Daddy
Is a singer
Yes, I love them
A thousand cold winters
Will never change that

My ears are filled
Autumn's air is chilled
I can't be still
I've got to get back to the road
I can't be still
I've got to get back to the road

Yes

Yes Dad, you always go back to the road. When I was a little girl I used to cry when you did. No as I get older I understand you more. You always go back to the road...
