‘If you go three blocks down
You’ll see Main Street
And on your left a diner and a store
But if you cross the railroad tracks
You know you’ve gone too far’
But she knows I’ll find it
She knows I won’t forget
’Cause she knows I’ve been there
once before
And there’s always a road that leaves you breathless
always a road that lets you roam
always a road that leads you somewhere
always a road that takes you home
‘Now when you get to 3rd Street
You’ll see the candy store
And then a church when you’ve gone
a mile or more
And if you get in late
I’ll leave the light on’
But she knows I’ll find it
She knows I won’t forget
’Cause she knows I’ve been there
once before
And there’s always a road where your pulse races
always a road that stops you cold
always a road that leads you somewhere
always a road that takes you home
‘Now when you come to Bank Street
There’ll be a four-way stop
Go straight but make sure you stop first...
There’s a pizza place and a laundromat
That closed down years ago
And then you’ll see a stand that sells great corn’
But she knows I’ll find it
She knows I won’t forget
’Cause she knows I’ve been there
once before
And there’s always a road that
keeps us going
always a road that sets us free
always a road that sends us
only a road between you and me
