The journey's been long, I've seen better days
We've seen mountains, oceans, beauty along our way
We've traveled the roads, so many won't see
Red dirt paved with gold, just you and me
We've weathered the storms
We've traveled the roads, so many won't see
Through day and through night
Danced in the halls, under trees, on the roads
The brightest of lights
Went through the hard times
Felt all the pain
Been left all alone, high and dry
Then needed again
All I see
Is through your eyes
History paints our picture
Through the loads of nights
We started out long ago
We were young, we were young, so free
Time rolls on and on again
It takes its toll
It's takin' it on me
It's takin' it on me
It's takin' it on me
Yeah
Yeah
A thousand tales to tell
Live them all
But there's been times you've walked right by me
Tattered and torn
Scars that I wear
From beginning to end
Remember
Red dirt roads paved with gold
I miss you, my friend
I miss you, my friend
I miss you, my friend
All I see
Is through your eyes
History paints our picture
Through the loads and the highs
We started out long ago
We were young, we were young, we were free
Time rolls on and it takes its toll
It's takin' it on me
It's takin' it on me
It's takin' it on me
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
