We've sure had the snow for December

Just one open road to town

But it's three night's runnin' I've stood here

Watchin' you headed back down that yellow river road



Now this winter is closin' in

Looks like it's gonna be long and hard

Go on down be with your friends

Just don't go too far



Down the yellow river road

You know I always say that you ought to go

When you need some time alone

But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way

Then you ought to know

You've gone too far

Down the yellow river road



That road goes lots of places

But don't forget it's my road too

And I won't have friends with guilty faces

Watchin' me walkin' with you down the yellow river road



Could be all this snow that's fallin'

Makin' me think there's something wrong

But that road goes both ways darlin'

You could come home



Down the yellow river road

You know I always say that you ought to go

When you need some time alone

But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way

Then you ought to know

You've gone too far

Down the yellow river road



Down the yellow river road

You know I always say that you ought to go

When you need some time alone

But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way

Then you ought to know

You've gone too far

Down the yellow river road
