There's a hitchhiker standing on the side of the road off of exit 104 And a forgotten billboard for a all night diner that ain't even there no more Three deserted farms just like monuments standing cold and still While a hawk and a lonely state trooped stand guard out on lookout hill CHORUS: I'm just following the road home on a trail of memories Just a battle weary native son is there still a home for me When you see me coming don't you turn away 'Cause this hometown boy needs a place to stay And a little understanding on the road home The road homeâ?¦ There's still mud on my boots from across the sea Ain't gonna kick it off Cause it makes me remember what I need to forget When I'm feeling lonesome and lost There's a river of scars and it's running deep Right down to my very soul And this battle rages every step of the way While I try not to let it show (REPEAT CHORUS)
