We've sure had the snow for December
Just one open road to town
But it's three night's runnin', I've stood here
Watchin' you headed back down that yellow river roadNow this winter is closin' in
Looks like it's gonna be long and hard
Go on down, be with your friends
Just don't go too farDown the yellow river road
You know I always say that you ought to go
When you need some time alone
But if there's anything else pullin' you down that way
Then you ought to know, you've gone too far
Down the yellow river roadThat road goes lots of places
But don't forget it's my road too
And I won't have friends with guilty faces
Watchin' me walkin' with you down the yellow river roadCould be all this snow that's fallin'
Makin' me think there's something wrong
But that road goes both ways darlin'
And you could come homeDown the yellow river road
You know I always say that you ought to go
When you need some time alone
But if there's anything else pullin' you down that way
Then you ought to know, you've gone too farDown the yellow river road
You know I always say that you ought to go
When you need some time alone
But if there's anything else pullin' you down that way
Then you ought to know, you've gone too far
Down the yellow river road
You've gone too far
Down the yellow river road
