Lyrics

Old 11 in the sweet summer sun

in the distance the trucks rolled on route 81

492 how come I never knew

Some of the best days of my life were spent beside you?



Every road I've ever known with my wheels or with my feet

I've laid my tracks upon and they've left their mark on me



Route 89 I was yours you were mine

Through the canyons and deserts of youth did you wind

West Avenue where I still pay my dues

Will my children singing sweet songs remembering you?



Ohhhh but none of them are home, to me.

Someday I'm gonna walk that milky white way across the starry sea
