climb \r\nMe and the whisperin' pine \r\n\r\nHere’s to tomorrow, here,s to today \r\nHere’s to whatever I never did say \r\nHere’s to your love you are happy I pray \r\n\r\nOut on this long stretch of Interstate 10 \r\nThat ole Del Rio station just keeps rollin' right in \r\nMany the night it was my only friend \r\nMe and the radio \r\n\r\nThe Silver Moon Cafe was once out this way \r\nLike Route 66 boys it too had its day \r\nAnd this rusty old sign here is all that remains \r\nMy how the times have changed \r\n\r\nThey tell me ole Bud Rose hocked his guitar \r\nBought a ticket to Nashville to become a big star \r\nNow he works on a bottle and he lives in a car \r\nDo you still have your dreams \r\n\r\nYou remember the old town here yesterday \r\nThe walk from the Ryman to the Linebow Cafe \r\nWe would stop in at Tootsies and Tubbs on the way \r\nAnd slowly head East down to First and Broadway \r\n\r\nHey look at that ole river but how it just keeps rollin' \r\nIf it was a clock I could stop I would try \r\nI would let it roll down on about '65 \r\nPerhaps I would not feel so old \r\n\r\nHoist all the sails Bud to hell with the breeze \r\nPrayed for a wind that will bend every tree \r\nAnd a storm that will bring every man to his knee \r\nHeres to the howlin' sea \r\n\r\nHere’s to tomorrow heres to today \r\nHere’s to whatever I never could say \r\nHere’s to the piper the bastards been paid \r\n\r\nDown on this long stretch of Interstate 10 \r\nEl Paso to Phoenix to L.A. and then it is north to northwest \r\nI just follow the wind \r\nAnd by midnight tonight I will be home in Springfield again","plain_text":"A Long Road Home\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow I long to hold the golden sand \nIn the hollow of my hand \nStand for a while there and fill in the hole \nLeft in the
