  /...well to tell all but the truth this is near my fav. of his...there are some lines in it I could've written... rw

THE ROAD
the road it never changes but the people always do
tonight the time has come to tell you so
the path along the riverside is sparkled now with dew
stretching here to where God only knows
and I'll always love you gal on that you can rely
there's nothin' mo or less you need to know
so lay your pretty head back in the crook of my ole arm
and love me one more time before you go

along some lonesome highway I'll be thinking back on you
and I let your warm love shield me from the cold
like a melody in memory so shiny bright and new
reelin' with the rhythm of the road
and early in the morning when the sun is coming up
you'll miss me making noises 'round the stove
and you'll touch the empty places where my body use to lay 
and you'll curse the day I left you for the road
