It Takes Me Back I spent my life on stages, calling out the changes to a pickup band, in a tired van broke down in the rain. The tires whine, the moon shines, on Highway signs flying by, the countryside just shrugs and sighs, and looks the other way. Rolling through the hills of West Virginia Strolling down the road in Tennessee When I think about the sound of wind through hickory It takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be It takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be I was hauling ass outta Utah, running towards Abeline. Where they’ll fry your ass for an ounce of grass and throw away the key. Now I ain't saying I’m an angel, all I’m saying is I was born free.

Rolling through the hills of West Virginia Strolling down the road in Tennessee When I think about the sound of wind through hickory It takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be It takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be And all the while that I was away, I longed to hold her close and say I’m sorry, for everything, but there ain't no turning back.

Rolling through the hills of West Virginia Strolling down the road in Tennessee When I think about the sound of wind through hickory It takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be It takes me back It takes me back To where I want to be
