You're leaving home
Just to find a new road
With a name that's the same as your own
And you're leaving home
Like the sand from a stone
Still a part of what you've left to roam
Try as you will for a new day
But the sun still rises the same way
And your heart, your heart
How it will ache
Because the roads
Have those same country bars
And the ropes
That hang from those same trees
And the roads
You take to chase the stars
Are the same as the roads
Back to me
And all you can trust
Is an old city bus
To take you away from this rust
And all you can trust
Is those hands that will rush
To the palls as you fall to the dust
Those same old hands lower you down
To the same old dirt in the ground
A new tombstone in the same old town
Where the roads
Have those same country bars
And ropes
That hang from those same trees
And the roads
You take to fill your heart
Are the same as the roads
Back to me
So go start anew
Though the sky follows you
It remains that old same awful blue
And go start anew
Take that heart with you too
It is chained to the stain of that hue
Hide in the corners of your eyes
As you run from the gaze of that sky
But the blood in your veins will never run dry
Because the roads
Have those same country bars
And ropes
That hang from those same trees
And the roads
You take that fall apart
Are the same as the roads
Back to me
