Lead me back to the place

I'm from past the farms and debris

You can see it from the Highlands

As you roam 'long the range

I've been on the look for a quiet place

It's not far off the range, baby

Take me back to the one I love

It's not far, it's on the way

I've been ramblin'

Burning tires on my street

Past the roar and debris, baby

All the kids dance around it

But he lacks what he sees

I've been drinking up on the sweet tea

It was made just for me

I've been ramblin'

I'm just driftin'

Looking out for the one I love

I've been down by the sea, baby

I've been up in the Highlands

Past the farms and debris

I've been rollin' down on the good stuff

Past the roads I can see, oh babe

Lead me back to the one I love

All the roads lead to me

I've been movin'

I'll be driftin'

I could be like a sailor-man

While I wasn't me, I could leave it all

I could toss 'em out like a Wall Street man

While I leave it all, I could leave it all

I could toss 'em out on a one-armed man

While I leave it all, I could leave it all

I could toss 'em out on a one-armed man

While I leave it all, I could leave it all

I could leave it all, I could leave it all

I could leave it all, I could leave it all

I could leave it all
