lyrics

it’s a long way back to that town of yours
on the open road from Tennessee
eighteen hours and every mile makes me sad
Roanoke doesn’t know me, but I pass her by every month
when I’m dragging myself back to you

there are times when I can’t get nothin’ done
you’re the only one I want to see
and the crimes that I commit to myself are the ones
that keep me from being free
I just want some peace in life
Lord, I’m ready, rain it down on me
cuz I’m dragging myself through for you

yeah you, you may be the younger
you may be the kid
you may be in trouble
but, honey, I don’t care about what you did
you just remember who you really are
you are your only sister’s Northern star
I’ll be waiting for you down in Nashville
I guess it’s really not that far

New York is on the way
my old friends are there, but I can’t stay
it just reminds me of all that time, when I let my heart get left behind
it’s crazy how the time can pass
and how the sweeter days go by so fast
I have to find my way back to me, for you

cuz you, you may be the younger
you may be the kid
you may be in trouble
but, honey, I don’t care about what you did
you just remember who you really are
you are your only sister’s Northern star
I’ll be waiting for you down in Nashville
I guess it’s really not that far
