The Road Emmylou Harris

[Verse 1]
I can still remember every song you played
Long ago when we were younger and we rocked the night away
How could I see a future then, where you would not grow old?
With such a fire in our belly, such a hunger in our souls
I guess I probably loved you when those words rolled off your tongue
Seemed that we were traveling under some old lucky sun
I know I couldn't save you and no one was to blame
But the road we shared together once will never be the same

[Chorus]
Hey gonna roll away
Won't be coming round again
Hey with a song, I pray
And on the wings of a song I'll fly away

[Verse 2]
I wandered in the wilderness, for a while I was so lost
To everything there is a season and every blessing has its cost
So I took what you left to me, put it to some use
Went looking for an answer with those three chords and the truth
I come down from the mountain, I come walking in your shoes
I was taken for a gambler when I had no more to lose
For he put me on that pathway, how could I refuse?
And I have spent my whole life out here working on the blues
