Vague Directions
This place you say you're looking for
That's a place I used to know
Don't know the number of the road
But I can tell you how to go
Head on down 'till the pavement ends
Used to go back there now and then
I Used to know it like the back of my hand
When I was just a boy
This place you say you're looking for
It's a good ways off the track
It'd take a quarter tank of Firechief
Just getting there and back
And of course there wasn't no pavement then
Once you got yourself around that bend
There wasn't nothing but the whistling wind
When I was just a boy
()
And the light shines long ago
On the cold December snow
And the river runs on through the (golden) past
I can see it in the bottom of the (whiskey) glass
Ain't seen you around here before
You kin to someone I know
What was your mama's name
Before she moved away
Did she tell you about that place up there
Did she show you how to curl that hair
A grown man would have never dared
When I was just a boy
()
Just like yesterday
This place you say you're looking for
Might have washed out with the rain
It Might not be there anymore
It Might not be the same
But if you find it won't you let me know
If I weren't so poorly I'd surely go
Don't you know I used to love it so
When I was just a boy
