Lyrics James Taylor

October Road

Well I'm a-going back down maybe one more time

Deep down home, October Road

And I might like to see that little friend of mine

That I left behind once upon a time

Oh, promised land and me still standing

It's a test of time

It's a real good sign

Let the sun run down right behind the hill

I know how to stand there still till the moon rise up

Right behind the pine, oh, Lord, October road

In October road

In October road

It's the big-time life that I can't abide

Raise my rent, tan my hide.

Sweet call of the countryside

Go down slow, open wide.

I did my time

And it changed my mind

I'm satisfied Oh.

I got so low down, fed up

My god, I could hardly move

Won't you come on, my brother

Get on up and help me find my groove

Keep me walking, October road.

Keep me walking in the sunshine, yeah

A little friend of mine

October road

Help me now

October road

Oh, oh, October road
