McDowell Road Lyrics by Travis Meadows

First Cigarette

2017

[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
It's 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 you're young, you don’t 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'
Didn't 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 you're young, you don’t 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 can't go home
The ones you leave behind you
Man, they haunt you like a ghost
But the ones you never found
Are the ones that'll kill a man the most
[Outro]
All those years I took for granted
When you're young, and don’t 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
