October Road

Well, I'm-a going back down, maybe one more time
Deep down home, October road
And I might like to see that little friend of mine
That I left behind once upon a time
Oh, promised land and me still standing
It's a test of time, it's a real good sign

Let the sun run down right behind the hill
I know how to stand there still
'Til the moon rise up behind the pine, oh, Lord
October road, an October road
October road

It's the big-time life that I can't abide
Raise my rent, tan my hide
Sweet call of the countryside
Go down slow, open wide
I did my time, and it changed my mind, I'm satisfied, oh

(I got so) I got so low down, fed up, my God
I could hardly move (I could hardly move)
Won't you come on, my brother (yeah), get on up
And help me find my groove

Keep me walking, October road
Keep me walking in the sunshine, yeah
A little friend of mine
October road
Help me now
October road
Oh, oh, oh, October road
