Gotham Back Roads

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rain on the roof Over Narrows Bay I left the cave Before the break of day My boots hit mud By the old iron gate You know I never Let the night dictate [Pre-Chorus] I got a trail Through the dogwood bend One more run 'Fore the dark winds end If you call my name I'll turn around With a storm on my back And the moon hanging down [Chorus] Country roads Take me home Country roads I’m not alone Way down there Where the river rolls Country roads Take me home [Verse 2] I saw your porch Lit warm and low A worn-out fence And a scarecrow slow There’s a life I guard In the evening hush A little red barn And a pumpkin brush [Pre-Chorus] So I ride that line Where the fields run wide Past the grain and smoke And the river tide If the world goes hard I don’t back down I just keep on through To your edge of town [Chorus] Country roads Take me home Country roads I’m not alone Way down there Where the river rolls Country roads Take me home [Bridge] I’ve worn the dark Like a second skin Chased old ghosts And I let them spin But your front steps Got a softer sound Makes a hard man lean When the sun goes down [Final Chorus] Country roads Take me home Country roads I’m not alone Way down there Where the river rolls Country roads Take me home Country roads Take me home Country roads Take me home
