[Verse 1] That road ran like a river Through the middle of our town It keeps my memories spinnin Just like car wheels on the ground Its a fight I never finished A friend I almost found Spent my childhood in it Til it almost pulled me down [Chorus] All those years I took for granted When youre young, you dont think about gettin old I used to think that I would live forever Drivin up and down McDowell Road [Verse 2] I was smilin bright as lightnin Didnt take time to wave They all cussed my ass for leavin I just laughed at those who stayed I left all that behind me Let sleepin memories lay Sometimes they still remind me I was younger yesterday [Chorus] All those years I took for granted When youre young, you dont think about gettin old I used to think that I would live forever Drivin up and down McDowell Road [Verse 3] Some roads take nowhere Some make you walk alone Some just leave you standin there Cause you know you cant go home The ones you leave behind you Man, they haunt you like a ghost But the ones you never found Are the ones thatll kill a man the most [Outro] All those years I took for granted When youre young, and dont think about gettin old I used to think that I would live forever I used to think we all would live forever Drivin up and down McDowell Road McDowell Road
