Lyrics:

When I was young, just seventeen
The road ahead was filled with dreams
The world, it didn't seem so mean
The sky was blue, the sea was green

Then life happened on the way
Most of my dreams have flown away
But I'm still keeping on today
Cause I still got something left to say


Leave the past behind me
Oh the road, she's winding and winding
Still don't know what tempts me
On this road to empty
Going the distance to empty


In a motel livin' cheap
Lost in thought, I just can't sleep
I write this song, what does it mean?
Am I still holdin on to dreams?

Now with time I realize
There ain't always bluer skies
But if you muddle it through it all
You get those moments standing tall


Leave the past behind me
Oh the road, she's winding and winding
Still don't know what tempts me
On this road to empty

Leave the past behind me
Oh the road, she's winding and winding
Still don't know what tempts me
On this road to empty
Going the distance to empty...
