Brickyard Road

(album: Brickyard Road - 1990)

Doesn't seem that long ago
Three of us walking down that road
Grey '55 Chevy, parked in the front yard
Little Melody tagged along
Those were the best days, now they're gone

It's been twelve years since it went down
Lord, lost my best friend now
I can still see him, fishing on that old dock
I know I can't bring back yesterday
But oh Lord, can you help me find my way?

Down to Brickyard Road, oh, walk on down
Down to Brickyard Road, he's with me now
Swore I saw a free bird fly, riding the winds of the Southern sky
When I hear that whistle blow
It carries me back to Brickyard Road

Brother, do you realize what you've done?
Touched the hearts of everyone
You might've died too young but your songs live on
I know I can't bring back yesterday
But we'll be all together again someday

Down to Brickyard Road, oh, walk on down
Down to Brickyard Road, he's with us now
Swore I saw a free bird fly, riding the winds of the Southern sky
When I hear that whistle blow
It carries me back down to Brickyard Road

Oh, Brickyard Road

Down to Brickyard Road, oh, walk on down
To Brickyard Road, oh, he's with us now, he's with us now
I swore I saw a free bird fly, riding the winds of the Southern sky
When I hear that whistle blow
It carries me back down to Brickyard Road
And Brickyard Road, oh, he's with us now

I can see him standing on the dock
Saw his Chevy out in the front yard
Walk on down, walk on down

Oh, Brickyard Road
He's with us now, he's with us now
Oh, Brickyard Road
Walk on down, walk on down

Mama and Daddy's doing alright
I saw Melody last Saturday night
She's all grown up, she's such a pretty girl
Things just ain't the same since you left our world

Oh, walk on down

(Oh, Brickyard Road)
(Brickyard Road) Wanna go back
(Brickyard Road) Wanna go back to
Brickyard Road, Brickyard Road, oh

God, won't you turn it back
Oh, turn on, turn on, turn on, oh
Down to Brickyard road
Oh, I can see him now, I can see him now
Down to Brickyard Road

Oh, Brickyard Road
