Song Lyrics

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 would take me,
When my time for leaving came down
And each night, I'd awaken, from the dream I was taking,
That old dirt road, out of this town

[Chorus]
Sweet memories, keep haunting me,
Calling me like an old friend
And I pray, that someday, I'll ride this highway,
Till it turns to that dirt road again

Now I live in the city, where man made 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]

Sweet memories, keep haunting me, calling me like an old friend
And I pray, that someday, I'll ride this highway, till it turns into that dirt road again
In the city tonight, when I turn out the lights, I'll be riding that old dirt road again
