I am thinking of the memories over and over
The highway that lead me to no shame
How it's never changed
It has stayed the same
Lead me to love and never no pain
Showed how much I had to gain
As it was leading me away
It was begging me to stay
What would have happened
If I had never traveled and I had never seen
And I always had to wonder "where"
And I had never been there
Never left me in the dark
Could always count on it getting me home
Never left me alone
Taking me to my favorite fishing hole
"Charlie's Hole"
Where I was always stumping my toes
Where it snowed
But never stopped me from being on the go
Took me to Grandma's for homemade white cake
But it was not mine to take
It allowed me to walk
And me and it had some very long talks
Lead me to the back woods
Lead me to Indian Cliffs
Where that Indian Chief
Was carved into that rock and but still kind of stiff
Where I road in the back of my Grandpa's truck
Always keeping my head tucked
Lead me to my friends
Where there has never been any ends
Where still to this day it leads me home
Where I never feel alone
And
Someday it will lead to where I will have my finale rest
And
One last time it will lead me home
