Tabbed By Larry Mofle [email protected] There's a town by a river And a dirt road that runs through the town, winding around And As a child I would daydream Where that road might take me when my time for leaving came down And each night I'd awaken from a dream I was taking That old dirt road out of this town Sweet memories keep haunting me Calling me like an old friend And I pray that someday I'll ride this halfway 'Til it turns to that dirt road again Now I live in city With manmade mountains of steel to block out the sky And that river of traffic That runs by my window never seems to run dry And tonight before sleeping I pray God is keeping That old place that I left behind Chorus In the city tonight When I turn out the light I'll be riding that old dirt road again
