I left home when I was seventeen

I just grew tired of falling down

And I'm sure I was told

The allure of the road

Would be all I found



And all the answers that I started with

Turned out questions in the end

So years roll on by

And just like the sky

The road never ends



(Chorus:)

And the people who love me still ask me

When are you coming back to town

And I answer quite frankly

When they stop building roads

And all God needs is gravity to hold me down



(Chorus:)

And the people who love me still ask me

When are you coming back to town

And I answer quite frankly

When they stop building roads

And there ain't no more highways to be found

And I answer quite frankly

When they stop building roads

And all God needs is gravity to hold me down
