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' And 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 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 You've gone too far Down the yellow river road
