There's a hitchhiker standing on the side
Of the road off of exit 104
And a forgotten billboard for all night diner
That ain't even there no moreThree deserted farms just like monuments
Standing cold and still
While a hawk and a lonely state trooper
Stand guard out on lookout hillI'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
On the road homeThere's still mud on my boots from across the sea
And I ain't gonna kick it off
'Cause it makes me remember what I need to forget
When I'm feeling lonesome and lostAnd 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 showI'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
On the road homeWhen 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
On the road homeI'm on the road home
