lyrics

You wonder why I never visit
It’s cause I’m not done getting away
Though part of me will always miss it
Like it’s that part of me
That’s always been missing

So now I’m carrying with me
The sounds of late night trains
And joyriding wrecks
I can’t forget

You know I left like the leaves
Slowly after withering
Or maybe burned on the lawn
At least I’m finally gone
I will return like the cold
I’m cradling in my bones
I see we’re both getting old
Country roads leave me alone

You wonder why I never visit
It’s cause I’m still back there all the time
Though part of me will always miss it
Like missing mountaintops
And Wal-Mart parking lots

So now I’m carrying with me
The rapid river
And the people it claimed
Who I can’t forget

You know I left like the leaves
Slowly after withering
Or maybe burned on the lawn
At least I’m finally gone
I will return like the cold
I’m cradling in my bones
I see we’re both getting old
Country roads leave me alone

Now I’m carrying with me
BBs under the skin

You know I left like the leaves
Slowly after withering
Or maybe burned on the lawn
At least I’m finally gone
I will return like the cold
I’m cradling in my bones
I see we’re both getting old
Country roads leave me alone
