All Roads Songtext

Three hundred and sixty-nine nights ago We were in some bar by the harbour down in Montauk Cove Three hundred and sixty-eight days ago The car broke down for the last time on some back beach road And I don't know how to fix broken engines any more than I know Why . . . why did I go? I only know I'm looking over empty pages I'm looking at a cold year I'm looking in my heart and I'm seein' (CHORUS) All roads lead back to you God knows, I've tried to drive on through But everytime I turn around a bend, I see what I always knew All roads lead back to you Three hundred and sixty-nine nights ago We slept at that run-down motel outside of town And three hundred and sixty-eight days ago I checked out for the last time and caught the ferry across the sound But the nights we spent in that summer heat remain with me today And repeat like a song that won't get out of my brain The rhythm of the wheels inside me The white lines rushing by me Rain falling on the window, and darlin' (CHORUS) How can I wait when time won't let me How can I stop when I can't let go How can I run in no direction, I'm right back where I started from How can I doubt what I see so clearly How can I drop what I can't outgrow How can I wait even one more day when I know I'm living in a senseless crisis I'm giving in, I cannot fight this I'm coming on home, I swear I pray you'll still be there (CHORUS)
