I went out driving just the other night Far away from all the city lights The music in the car was turned down low I was lookin' for a place I used to know Called Weary Road Weary Road We used to meet there in the days of old Weary Road It was late, I almost fell asleep But to you this one promise I would keep To meet you 'neath the tree with leaves of red When next the blue moon did raise its head On Weary Road Weary Road We used to meet there in the days of old Weary Road I brought my father's pistol and some rope Within my heart there nested a strange hope I wondered how you'd look and who you'd be And if you'd still have time for one like me On Weary Road Weary Road We used to meet there in the days of old Weary Road
