Lyrics
0:11I spent my life on stages
0:15Calling out the changes
0:17To a pickup band
0:18In a tired van broke down in the rain
0:23The tires whine the moon shines
0:26On Highway signs flyin' by
0:28The countryside just shrugs and sighs
0:31And looks the other way
0:36Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia
0:42Strollin' down the road in Tennessee
0:47When I think about the sound
0:50Of wind through hickory
0:52It takes me back
0:54It takes me back
0:56Where I want to be
0:58Takes me back
1:00It takes me back
1:02To where I want to be
1:09I was haulin' a*s outta Utah
1:12Runnin' towards Abeline
1:14They'll fry your a*s for an ounce of grass
1:18Throw away the key
1:21Now I ain't saying I'm an angel
1:23All I'm saying is I was born free
1:26But I found out what it's all about
1:29When they put those cuffs on me
1:34Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia
1:39Strollin' down the road in Tennessee
1:45When I think about the sound
1:48Of wind through hickory
1:50It takes me back
1:51It takes me back
1:54Where I want to be
1:56Takes me back
1:57It takes me back
2:00To where I want to be
2:32All the while that I was away
2:34I longed to hold her close and say
2:37I'm sorry for everything
2:40But there ain't no turning back
2:43All the while that I was alone
2:46I longed for her I longed for home
2:48But the light in her eyes was gone
2:52Like windows painted black
2:56The light in her eyes was gone
2:59Like windows painted black
3:03Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia
3:09Strollin' down the road in Tennessee
3:15When I think about the sound
3:17Of wind through hickory
3:20It takes me back
3:21It takes me back
3:23Where I want to be
3:26Takes me back
3:27It takes me back
3:29To where I want to be
I spent my life on stages Calling out the changes To a pickup band In a tired van broke down in the rain The tires whine the moon shines On Highway signs flyin' by The countryside just shrugs and sighs And looks the other way Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia Strollin' down the road in Tennessee When I think about the sound Of wind through hickory It takes me back It takes me back Where I want to be Takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be I was haulin' a*s outta Utah Runnin' towards Abeline They'll fry your a*s for an ounce of grass Throw away the key Now I ain't saying I'm an angel All I'm saying is I was born free But I found out what it's all about When they put those cuffs on me Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia Strollin' down the road in Tennessee When I think about the sound Of wind through hickory It takes me back It takes me back Where I want to be Takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be All the while that I was away I longed to hold her close and say I'm sorry for everything But there ain't no turning back All the while that I was alone I longed for her I longed for home But the light in her eyes was gone Like windows painted black The light in her eyes was gone Like windows painted black Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia Strollin' down the road in Tennessee When I think about the sound Of wind through hickory It takes me back It takes me back Where I want to be Takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be
