River Road

(album: Welcome To Prairieville - 2021)

When you look, where do you look back?
When you missed home, tell me where's it at?
What's the start to your best, "I remember when?"

Is it fall or is it spring?
That magical place in your favorite dream
That you run to again and again

I go back to River Road
Baseball catch, I'm ten years old
And I hear, "Watch the ball, son"
Summer sun sinking low
Garden growing out by the fence
Mom and dad still just a couple kids
If only yesterday was just around the bend
I'd go back, I'd go back to River Road

And tell me about mistakes you've made
Your first kiss, your first heartbreak
What's your side of the story
Take me back to the scene

I go back to River Road
GMC, seventeen years old
Both those windows down
When the rain came pouring in
She went first and we never stopped
Two innocent hearts, forever lost
It's so useless to think what might've been
But I go back, I go back to River Road

And don't it just fly by?
Yeah, it's here and then it's gone
Oh, but I wouldn't change a thing
If I could, even if I could

Go back to River Road
The day I left it, cloud of smoke
And I hear, "Check the oil, son"
Summer sun sinking low
Concert time, you gotta jump the fence
I'd never met you if I never did
There's something familiar about you
Not sure what it is, but it takes me back
Yeah, I'm all the way back
You take me back, you take me back to River Road

You take me back to River Road
Take me back
