October Road

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Let the sun run down right behind the hill

I know how to stand there still

'Till the moon rise up behind the pine, oh Lord

October road

October road

October road

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

(I got so)

I got so low down, fed up, my God, I could hardly move

(I could hardly move)

Won't you come on, my brother

Get on up

(Yeah)

And help me find my groove

[Outro]

Keep me walking, October road

Keep me walking in the sunshine, yeah

A little friend of mine

October road

Help me now

October road

Ohhohh
