[Verse 1]
Well I'm-a going back down maybe one more time
Deep down home, October road
And I might like to see that little friend of mine
That I left behind once upon a time

Oh, promised land and me still standing
It's a test of time, it's a real good sign

[Verse 2]
Let the sun run down right behind the hill
I know how to stand there still
'Till the moon rise up behind the pine, oh Lord
October road
October road
October road

[Verse 3]
It's the big-time life that I can't abide
Raise my rent, tan my hide
Sweet call of the countryside
Go down slow, open wide

I did my time and it changed my mind
I'm satisfied, oh
[Verse 4]
(I got so)
I got so low down, fed up, my God, I could hardly move
(I could hardly move)
Won't you come on, my brother
Get on up
(Yeah)
And help me find my groove

[Outro]
Keep me walking, October road
Keep me walking in the sunshine, yeah
A little friend of mine
October road
Help me now
October road
Ohhohh
