Rural Route lyrics

RURAL ROUTE ? CHRIS KNIGHT

Verse 1
I built a fire up on the hill; I sat in the woods and drank my fill
Talked to God all night, took another shot at setting me right
Then I walked down to the road, filled a beer can full of 22 holes
Then I said goodbye, yeah I said goodbye
Chorus
I?d go back but I can?t go home, cause river is up & the road is closed
& there aint no telephone????at my mothers? house
& all the lights are out, down on the rural route
Verse 2
There aint much of nothin? left, this place where I became myself
Ghosts & memories, I?d walk on by but they?d follow me
I?d seen plenty on down the road. Asked him if he?d seen my brother
He just said no, well I guess I?d better go
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental
Verse 3
I built a fire up on the hill; I sat in the woods and drank my fill
Talked to God all night, took another shot at setting me right
Then I?d just walk away, aint nothin? here I want to remember anyway
Least not today
Repeat Chorus * 2
