The Road You Leave Behind Lyrics

	I remember the night my dad stopped the car
	And got out in the rain
	Changed a blown out tire on a car
	For a family with out of state plates
	I said dad did we know those folks 
	As they waved and drove out of sight
	He just smiled as he started the car
	He said son not 'til tonight

	(chorus)
	You see the road you leave behind you 
	Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
	It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
	You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
	You gotta go back down the road you leave behind

	Stuck out on the highway one night
	Many years gone by
	Had the hood of my truck pulled up
	My 'ol gas tank was dry
	Some 'ol guy gettin' off on the night shift 
	Pulled up to check on me
	He said I been in your shoes before son
	And it's no place to be

	You see the road you leave behind you 
	Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
	It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
	You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
	You gotta go back down the road you leave behind

	I said what do I owe you friend you could easily
	 passed me by
	He said next time it mihgt be me son you don't owe
	 me a dime

	You see the road you leave behind you  
	Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
	It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
	You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
	You gotta go back down the road you leave behind

	The road you leave behind.....

	Down the road you leave behind.....
	
	That 'ol road you leave behind...........
