Back On The Road

[Verse] Uncle Ben's on guitar, Lee's got the dobro, Abner's on fiddle, and Lillie's the show, They're headin' out tonight, bags on the floor, Leavin' Granny, Grandpa, and Aunt Minnie at the door. [Verse 2] Uncle Joe's comin', he plays 'bout everything, The road calls to them, hear that old country twang, Leavin' home's so hard, tears can't be denied, But the life they chose ain't an easy ride. [Chorus] Back on the road, where the highways unwind, Leavin' behind the ones who're always on our mind, Singin' those songs, under bright neon lights, This is our story, this is our life. [Verse 3] We’ll miss the porch swing, and Granny’s sweet pie, Grandpa’s old stories 'bout days gone by, Minnie’s little laugh, echoing through the hall, But the stage is calling, and we must heed its call. [Verse 4] Uncle Joe tunes his banjo, with fingers so fleet, Lillie's voice echoes, oh so bittersweet, Ben's fingers are flyin', and Lee's dobro sighs, Facing those hard miles, under starlit skies. (Instrument solo) [Chorus] Back on the road, where the highways unwind, Leavin' behind the ones who're always on our mind, Singin' those songs, under bright neon lights, This is our story, this is our life.
