The Road Home Lyrics - Bill Miller

There's a hitchhiker standing on the side 

Of the road off of exit 104 

And a forgotten billboard for all night diner 

That ain't even there no more 

Three deserted farms just like monuments 

Standing cold and still 

While a hawk and a lonely state trooper 

Stand guard out on lookout hill 

I'm just following the road home on a trail of memories 

Just a battle weary native son is there still a home for me 

When you see me coming don't you turn away 

'Cause this hometown boy needs a place to stay 

And a little understanding on the road home 

On the road home 

There's still mud on my boots from across the sea 

And I ain't gonna kick it off 

'Cause it makes me remember what I need to forget 

When I'm feeling lonesome and lost 

And there's a river of scars and it's running deep 

Right down to my very soul 

And this battle rages every step of the way 

While I try not to let it show 

I'm just following the road home on a trail of memories 

Just a battle weary native son is there still a home for me 

When you see me coming don't you turn away 

'Cause this hometown boy needs a place to stay 

And a little understanding on the road home 

On the road home 

When you see me coming don't you turn away 

'Cause this hometown boy needs a place to stay 

And a little understanding on the road home 

On the road home 

I'm on the road home
