Rural Route Lyrics

Intro: F////////B////////F////////B////////
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
I'd go back but I can't go home, cause the river is up and the road is closed
and there ain't no telephone.........at my mother's house
and all the lights are out......down on the rural route
There ain't much of nothin' left, this place where I became myself
Ghosts and memories, I'd walk on by , but they'd follow me
I seen Penny on down the road, asking if I'd seen my brother
I just said no.....well I guess I'd better go
I'd go back but I can't go home, cause the river is up and the road is closed
and there ain't no telephone.........at my mother's house
and all the lights are out......down on the rural route
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, ain't nothin here I want to remember anyway...
Least not today
I'd go back but I can't go home, cause the river is up and the road is closed
and there ain't no telephone.........at my mother's house
and all the lights are out......down on the rural route
