Story Behind The Song

None really. A friend has an uncle doing life in prison.

Song Description

Contemplation of time gone by and how he ended up where he's at.

Lyrics

What if I was taken by?
A loneliness that said that I
Might never see the light of day again
Overwhelmed but unaware
Sitting in my rocking chair
Fishing off the back porch in the sun
Damages done

Take me back
Down that old country road
Cause I never want to see this place again
With it's cold grey steel and brokenhearted men

Meet me at the bend in the river
Don't testify and don't beg the giver
Wait for me till morning
If I'm late there's something wrong
A boy and his dog
Run through the cotton
Past the old church house
And cemetery row
All those folks are gone and forgotten
One by one we all have go
I don't know what she meant to me
I tried to give her the world
But the world aint free
Now I'm doing the time
Being a fool's my only crime

Take me back
Down that old country road
Cause I never want to see this place again
With it's cold grey steel and brokenhearted men
Where time is just a memory
Nothings what she gave to me
When you start the story it's the end
