There's a town by a river And a dirt road that runs through the town Winding around As a child I would daydream Where that road might take me When my time for leavin' came down And each night I'd awaken From a dream I was takin' That 'ol dirt road out of this town Sweet memories keep haunting me Callin' me like and 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 Sweet memories keep haunting me Callin' me like and old friend And I pray that someday I'll ride this highway 'Till it turns to that dirt road again In the city tonight When I turn out the lights I'll be ridin' that 'ol dirt road again
