Rural Route Lyrics - Enough Rope - Chris Knight

RURAL ROUTE CHRIS KNIGHT 

Verse 1 

I built a fire up on the hill; I sat in the woods and drank my fill 

Talked to God all night, took another shot at setting me right 

Then I walked down to the road, filled a beer can full of 22 holes 

Then I said goodbye, yeah I said goodbye 

Chorus 

Id go back but I cant go home, cause river is up & the road is closed 

& there aint no telephoneat my mothers house 

& all the lights are out, down on the rural route 

Verse 2 

There aint much of nothin left, this place where I became myself 

Ghosts & memories, Id walk on by but theyd follow me 

Id seen plenty on down the road. Asked him if hed seen my brother 

He just said no, well I guess Id better go 

Repeat Chorus 

Instrumental 

Verse 3 

I built a fire up on the hill; I sat in the woods and drank my fill 

Talked to God all night, took another shot at setting me right 

Then Id just walk away, aint nothin here I want to remember anyway 

Least not today 

Repeat Chorus * 2
