THE ROADS THAT LEADS ME HOME A very personal song from my heart. The Cover Art is a picture of the actual road in the song. [Intro] [instrumental} [Verse 1] Driving through the country on that old valley road With every mile I drive I feel a lighter load Nestled in the mountains of the Appalachians Cross the Mason-Dixon line into Pennsylvania [Verse 2] It’s not much further now just another mile north Go just around the bend to that log cabin church As I turn to the left, I feel a peace so strong My mood starts to lighten; this is where I belong [Chorus] The road that takes me home how it twists and it climbs It goes over the creek and up the mountainside It's just an old dirt lane but it does my soul good That road runs through my heart like it runs through the woods [Verse 3] The dirt road beneath me and the trees overhead Embrace me in their splendor as I drive further in I get a feeling here I can't simply explain Deeper than belonging as I drive back the lane [Verse 4] I've been around the world; I've seen sights that amaze I've viewed God's handiwork in nature's grand displays No matter where I've been, no matter where I roam No place can compare to the road that takes me home [Chorus] The road that takes me home how it twists and it climbs It goes over the creek and up the mountainside It's just an old dirt lane but it does my soul good That road runs through my heart like it runs through the woods [instrumental} [Verse 5] Nature comes to meet me driving up the foothills The deer and the squirrels; calls of the whippoorwills Each climb lifts my spirit, every bend plays its part Each season holds beauty, every turn holds my heart [Chorus] The road that takes me home how it twists and it climbs It goes over the creek and up the mountainside It's just an old dirt lane but it does my soul good That road runs through my heart like it runs through the woods [Outro] No matter where I've been, no matter where I roam No place can compare to the road that takes me home [instrumental]
