Lyrics
As I ride these old, worn-back roads
I hear the stories once left untold
Of the women and men who built this land Some with hearts, some bare hands
Some built families, farms, and friends
Some climbed mountains, it just depends
But the heart of these who've gone before Enrich us to our freedom core
These old-back roads, these freedom trails These avenues drenched in light
These cart-path lanes, across great plains These old-back roads is where you roam
These freedom trails, they'll take you home These cart-path lanes, across great plains
I'll be with you tonight
I'll be with you tonight
I might be a stranger looking in
But I've heard these stories
Of women and men
And I'll share them with you
From these back roads
From the heart of America, I suppose
No statues in the park
Where they left their mark
No words in the history books
No holidays along the ways
Just plain old blood and guts
These old-back roads, these freedom trails These avenues drenched in light
These cart-path lanes, across great plains These old-back roads is where you roam
These freedom trails, they'll take you home These cart-path lanes, across great plains
I'll be with you tonight
I'll be with you tonight
I'll be with you tonight
I'll be with you tonight
I'll be with you tonight
