October Road

Well I'm a going back down
Maybe one more time,
Deep down home,
October road.
And I might like to see
That little friend of mine
That I left behind
Once upon a time.
Oh, promised land
And me still standing,
It's a test of time,
It's a real good sign.

Let the sun run down
Right behind the hill,
I know how to stand there
Still till the moon rise up
Right behind the pine,
Oh, Lord,
October road.

Let the sun run down
Right behind the hill,
I know how to stand there
Still till the moon rise up
Right behind the pine,
Oh, Lord,
October road.

It's the big time life
That I can't abide,
Raise my rent,
Tan my hide.
Sweet call of
The countryside,
Go down slow, open wide
I did my time
And it changed my mind,
I'm satisfied, oh.
I got so low down,
Fed up, my God,
I could hardly move.
Won't you come on, my brother,
Get on up
And help me find my groove.

Keep me walking,
October road.
Keep me walking
In the sunshine, yeah
A little friend of mine,
October road.
Keep me walking,
October road.
Keep me walking
In the sunshine, yeah.
A little friend of mine,
October road,
Help me now.
