When I look at you, boy
I can see the road that lies ahead
I can see the love and the sorrow
Bright fields of joy
Dark nights awake in a stormy bed
I want to go with you, but I can稚 follow
So keep to the old roads
Keep to the old roads
And you値l find your way
Your first kiss, your first crush
The first time you know you池e not enough
The first time there痴 no one there to hold you
The first time you pack it all up
And drive alone across America
Please remember the words that I told you
Keep to the old roads
Keep to the old roads
And you値l find your way
You値l find your way
If love is what you池e looking for
The old roads lead to an open door
And you値l find your way
You値l find your way
Back home
And I know you'll be scared when you take up that cross
And I know it'll hurt, 'cause I know what it costs
And I love you so much and it's so hard to watch
But you're gonna grow up and you're gonna get lost
Just go back, go back
Go back, go back to the ancient paths
Lash your heart to the ancient mast
And hold on, boy, whatever you do
To the hope that's taken hold of you
And you'll find your way
You'll find your way
If love is what you池e looking for
The old roads lead to an open door
And you値l find your way
You値l find your way
Back home
