Stop In The Road

(앨범: I Just Came Home To Count The Memories - 1981)

Put the hammer down, just ignore that county line
I've had enough of this old town, we're leaving it behind
Folks have dropped their friendly act and now they're getting cold
And this old place ain't home it's just a stop in the road

Don't worry about our clothes and things, we're leaving them behind
They'll be right here when we get back if I should change my mind
But that's not likely 'cause this way of life is getting old
This old place ain't home, it's just a stop in the road

Just a stop in the road, not where you're gonna say is born and raised
Just a stop in the road, too soon you get to feeling out of place
You never see it but you feel it smirking every grin
Too soon you get the feeling you're on the outside looking in
I wouldn't want to be caught here and find I'm getting old
This old place ain't home, it's just a stop in the road

Don't worry where we're going, just drive till you feel right
We don't need a roadmap to get us out of sight
We'll start looking for a place where we can settle down
But right now, do us a favor, get us out of town

Drive this old machine like it's been entered in a race
Don't slow it down until you see a smile across my face
I could tell we didn't belong here without having to be told
This old place ain't home, it's just a stop in the road

Just a stop in the road, not where you're gonna say is born and raised
Just a stop in the road, too soon you get to feeling out of place
You never see it but you feel it smirking every grin
Too soon you get the feeling you're on the outside looking in
I wouldn't want to be caught here and find I'm getting old
This old place ain't home, it's just a stop in the road
