I sure had the snow for December, just one open road to town
But it's three nights running I've stood here
Watching you headed back down that yellow river road
Now this winter is closing in
Looks like it's gonna be long and hard
Go on down with your friends
Just don't go too far
Down the yellow river road
You know I always say that you ought to go
When you need some time alone
But if there's anything else
Pulling you down now
That way that you ought to go
You've gone too far
Down the yellow river road
That road goes lots of places
But don't forget it's my road too
And I won't have friends with guilty faces
Watching me walking with you
Down the yellow river road
Could be all the snow that's falling
Making me think there's something wrong
That road goes both ways darling
And you could come home
Down the yellow river road
You know I always say that you ought to go
When you need some time alone
But if there's anything else
Pulling you down now
That way that you ought to go
You've gone too far
Down the yellow river road
You know I always say that you ought to go
When you need some time alone
But if there's anything else
Pulling you down now
That way that you ought to know
You've gone too far
Down the yellow river road
You've gone too far
Down the yellow river road
You've gone too far
