The Road You Leave Behind Lyrics - Singles - David Lee Murphy

I remember the night my dad stopped the car 

And got out in the rain 

Changed a blown out tire on a car 

For a family with out of state plates 

I said dad did we know those folks 

As they waved and drove out of sight 

He just smiled as he started the car 

He said son not 'til tonight 

You see the road you leave behind you 

Is another road you're gonna have to come back down 

It's just the way this big old world turns 'round 

You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime 

You gotta go back down the road you leave behind

Stuck out on the highway one night 

Many years gone by 

Had the hood of my truck pulled up 

My ol' gas tank was dry 

Some ol' guy gettin' off on the night shift 

Pulled up to check on me 

He said I been in your shoes before son 

And it's no place to be 

You see the road you leave behind you 

Is another road you're gonna have to come back down 

It's just the way this big old world turns 'round 

You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime 

You gotta go back down the road you leave behind 

I said what do I owe you friend you could've easily passed me by 

He said next time it might be me son you don't owe me a dime
