There's a Hitchhiker Standing On the Side of the Road Off of Exit 104
And a Forgotten Billboard For a All Night Diner That Ain't Even There No
More

Three Deserted Farms Just Like Monuments Standing Cold and Still
While a Hawk and a Lonely State Trooped Stand Guard Out On Lookout Hill

Chorus:
I'm Just Following the Road Home On a Trail of Memories
Just a Battle Weary Native Son Is There Still a Home For Me
When You See Me Coming Don't You Turn Away
'cause This Hometown Boy Needs a Place to Stay

And a Little Understanding On the Road Home
The Road Home?
There's Still Mud On My Boots From Across the Sea
Ain't Gonna Kick It Off
Cause It Makes Me Remember What I Need to Forget
When I'm Feeling Lonesome and Lost

There's a River of Scars and It's Running Deep
Right Down to My Very Soul
And This Battle Rages Every Step of the Way
While I Try Not to Let It Show

(Repeat Chorus)
