[Verse]
I left home when I was seventeen
I just grew tired of falling down
And I'm sure I was told
The allure of the road would be all I found
And all the answers that I started with
Turned out questions in the end
So years roll on by
And just like the sky, the road never ends

[Chorus]
And the people who love me still ask me
When are you coming back to town?
And I answer, quite frankly
When they stop building roads
And all God needs is gravity to hold me down

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And the people who love me still ask me
When are you coming back to town?
And I answer, quite frankly
When they stop building roads
And there ain't no more highways to be found
And I answer, quite frankly
When they stop building roads
And all God needs is gravity to hold me down
