It Takes Me Back

I spent my life on stages\nCalling out the changes\nTo a pickup band\nIn a tired van broke down in the rain\nThe tires whine\nThe moon shines\nOn Highway signs flying by\nThe countryside just shrugs and sighs\nAnd looks the other way\nRolling through the hills of West Virginia\nStrolling down the road in Tennessee\nWhen I think about the sound\nOf wind through hickory\nIt takes me back\nIt takes me back\nTo where I want to be\nIt takes me back\nIt takes me back\nTo where I want to be\nI was hauling ass outta Utah\nRunning towards Abeline\nWhere they’ll fry your ass\nFor an ounce of grass\nAnd throw away the key\nNow I ain’t saying I’m an angel\nAll I’m saying is I was born free\nBut I found out what it’s all about when they put those cuffs on me\nRolling through the hills of West Virginia\nStrolling down the road in Tennessee\nWhen I think about the sound\nOf wind through hickory\nIt takes me back\nIt takes me back\nTo where I want to be\nIt takes me back\nIt takes me back\nTo where I want to be\nAnd all the while that I was away\nI longed to hold her close and say\nI’m sorry, for everything\nBut there ain’t no turning back\nAnd all the while that I was alone\nI longed for her and I longed for home\nBut the light in her eyes was gone\nLike windows painted black\nThe light in her eyes was gone, like windows painted black\nRolling through the hills of West Virginia\nStrolling down the road in Tennessee\nWhen I think about the sound\nOf wind through hickory\nIt takes me back\nIt takes me back\nTo where I want to be\nIt takes me back\nIt takes me back\nTo where I want to be
