Lyrics

It's a lonely drive to Wilmington
Five hundred miles north to my hometown
Old friends of mine they'll be around
Still there for me even though I let them down

I can see them in my headlights
Their faces haven't changed
But I'm a changed man they'll have to get to know
It's gonna be a long ride home

Got my six string in the truck bed
The one Mom gave me when I was just a kid
I wish she and Dad didn't have to go
I'll swing by Lawn Croft just to say hello

I can see them in my headlights
Their faces haven't changed
But I'm a changed man they'll never get to know
It's gonna be a long ride home

Winter skies morning light
My brothers waited up for me all night
Gonna leave my baggage on the road
Put on a smile and lighten up my load

I can see them in my headlights
Their faces haven't changed
We all love the Birds but I still hate the snow
It's been a long ride home
