The Crooked Road Lyrics

The Crooked Road by Lou Reid & Carolina:
I-81 runs from Roanoke to Bristol
150 miles in 2 hours flat
But if you're not in a hurry, there's another way to get there
and around every bend you'll hear an echo from the past
The Crooked Road remembers all the songs that you've forgotten
It takes you back in time just like a long, lost friend
The Crooked Road will slow you down, so what you've lost can now be found
The Crooked Road will take you home again
Take the time to wander the hilltops and the hollers
Find a little country store where all the local pickers go
And close your eyes and listen, and you're back in Grandma's kitchen
With Wildwood Flower playing on the radio
The Crooked Road remembers all the songs that you've forgotten
It takes you back in time just like a long, lost friend

The Crooked Road will slow you down, so what you've lost can now be found
The Crooked Road will take you home again
Sometimes the crooked road is the straightest way to take you home
Front porch swinging, hound-dog napping,
distant whistle of the passing train, honeysuckle on the evening breeze,
slipping little something in the lemonade
The Crooked Road remembers all the songs that you've forgotten
It takes you back in time just like a long, lost friend
The Crooked Road will slow you down, so what you've lost can now be found
The Crooked Road will take you home again
Yeah The Crooked Road will take you home again
