There's a fire burnin' deep down in my dreams
All I need is a palette on your floor, friend, and enough gasoline
And I'll go give it another shot, might not turn out like I thought
But I'll give it all I got

It's been a while since I've been out your way
I'll call you when I got to Salinas, I gotta take a little break
Lord knows I'm a mess, I could use a little rest
And maybe get back to best

And this road led me to you and it'll take me away
And all I can do is pray, all I can do is pray
That I'll make it back one day

I lost my best friend, there near San Antone
And I had to call his Mama, it was the hardest thing I've done
And when I hung up that phone, I started missin' home
Then I set out alone

I'll be in Odell, come this spring
Well maybe she still wants to see me, maybe I'm too late
Oh but thats how it goes, this wind is gonna blow
And it taught me all I know

This road led me to you and it'll take me away
And all I can do is pray, all I can do is pray
That I'll make it back one day

One day I'm gonna find me a little farm
Grow me lots of tobacco plants around our yard
And I'll think about all those nights, underneath all those lights
Then I'll go hold my baby tight

I couldn't tell ya why I'm still out on this road
It sure as hell ain't been easy, ain't never found a pot of gold
Maybe I've got somethin' to prove, maybe it's just what I do
Maybe it's friends like you

And this road led me to you and it'll take me away
And all I can do is pray, and all I can do is pray
That I'll make it back one day

This road led me to you and it'll take me away
And all I can do is pray, all I can do is pray
That I'll make it back one day
