Sweet memories

There's a town by a river
And a dirt road that runs through the town
Winding around
As a child I would daydream
Where that road might take me
When my time for leavin' came down
And each night I'd awaken
From a dream I was takin'
That 'ol dirt road out of this town | Sweet memories keep haunting me | Callin' me like and old friend | And I pray that someday | I'll ride this highway | 'Till it turns to that dirt road again | Now I live in the city | Where man made mountains of steel | To block out the sky | And that river of traffic| That runs by my window | Never seems to run dry | And tonight before sleeping | I pray god is keeping | That old place that I left behind | Sweet memories keep haunting me | Callin' me like and old friend | And I pray that someday | I'll ride this highway | 'Till it turns to that dirt road again | In the city tonight| When I turn out the lights | I'll be ridin' that 'ol dirt road again
