There's a hitchhiker standing on the side of the road off of exit 104 
And a forgotten billboard for a 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 trooped stand guard out on lookout hill 
CHORUS: 
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 
The road home… 
There's still mud on my boots from across the sea 
Ain't gonna kick it off 
Cause it makes me remember what I need to forget 
When I'm feeling lonesome and lost 
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 
(REPEAT CHORUS)
