I drive the roads that take me home The lonely way to where I'm from Past autumn fields and walls of stone These ancient places I once roamed Through sleeping towns with shuttered stores Monuments to dreams that are no more The ivy'd silos guard the land I knew before Idle plows melt into barren soil You can't make a living Working farm land these days A way of life is dying Taking towns along the way There's my old school they closed it down Children ride a bus to nearby towns Half of all my family is sleeping 'neath that hill Their ghosts watch over our town still We moved away ten years ago They moved the plant to Mexico Now all that's left are growing old They can't abandon all they know You can't make a living Working farm land these days A way of life is dying Taking/killing towns along the way I'll miss the people and the places I once lived Maybe I'll return some day To rest beneath the hill I drive the roads that take me home The lonely way to where I'm from
