I can still remember every song you played Long ago when we were younger and we rocked the night away How could I see a future then, where you would not grow old? With such a fire in our belly, such a hunger in our souls I guess I probably loved you when those words rolled off your tongue Seemed that we were traveling under some old lucky sun I know I couldn't save you and no one was to blame But the road we shared together once will never be the same Hey gonna roll away Won't be coming round again Hey with a song, I pray And on the wings of a song I'll fly away I wandered in the wilderness, for a while I was so lost To everything there is a season and every blessing has its cost So I took what you left to me, put it to some use Went looking for an answer with those three chords and the truth I come down from the mountain, I come walking in your shoes I was taken for a gambler when I had no more to lose For he put me on that pathway, how could I refuse? And I have spent my whole life out here working on the blues So I carried on, you can't be haunted by the past People come, people go, and nothing ever lasts But I still think about you, wonder where you are Can you see me from some place up there among the stars? But down here under heaven, there never was a chart To guide our way across this crooked highway of the heart And if it's only all about the journey in the end On that road I'm glad I came to know you, my old friend Hey gonna fly way Won't be coming round again Hey with a song, I pray And on the wings of a song I'll fly away I'll fly away I'll fly away I love you
