There's a hitchhiker standing on the side of the road off of exit 104
And a forgotten billboard for a all night diner that ain't even there no more
Three deserted farms just like monuments standing cold and still
While a hawk and a lonely state trooped stand guard out on lookout hill
CHORUS:
I'm just following the road home on a trail of memories
Just a battle weary native son is there still a home for me
When you see me coming don't you turn away
'Cause this hometown boy needs a place to stay
And a little understanding on the road home
The road home
