lyrics

The days go by, the signs go by
On the interstate, it's getting late
The city lights, are fading in
We've seen some road, but we're heading home

We're getting tired, of northern ways
Of northern winds, of northern lays
It's been some time, but we're turning in
We can't deny, it was better then

So go your way you Wayfaring Stranger
Watch the years and nothing changes
You're still running down the dreams
Of the old wayfaring kings, but they're gone

We ended up in Tennessee
With an old graycoat run out of green
We heard the last chords in the air
But their dying down was too much to bear

We'd lost our minds but we had our pride
And we stood prepared to die
Shadows crawling across the land
Night knows the way to break a man

There's a place I go when I'm feeling gone
It's summer there, and I'm still a son
Don't you try to learn, don't you try to care
And when you're gone, you leave it there

So go your way you Wayfaring Stranger
Watch the years and nothing changes
You're still running down the dreams
Of the old wayfaring kings, but they're gone
But they're gone
