about

Iconic and unending…soothing and tedious, the road. It tells stories, if you have ears that hear.

lyrics

Chorus:

The road it gives and it takes…living by the choice it makes.
Riding the rails or out of the blue,
It can't keep me from you.
It can't keep me from you.


1. Those northern roads take you far, if you have far to go.
Rocks, trees, a fresh summer breeze and you.
We passed a funny little statue with big ideas
and we laughed…not far from Oastler.

(chorus)

2. Falling rocks aside, and construction of bridges.
Delays due to blasting.
Finding blueberries is worth it.
The wind on your face, in a state of Grace
with the rivers laughing by.

(chorus)

3. The rolling hills rock you to sleep…it's your turn anyway
Within the miles you keep your secrets.
I hear the answer with every truck that passes
…and then I know.

(chorus x2)
