[Verse]
The diner’s gone where we used to meet
A parking lot now stands on Main Street
The trees are taller but the air’s still sweet
[Chorus]
Back to the old roads I know
Where the wind whispers soft and slow
Some things stay and some things go
Back to the old roads I know
[Verse 2]
The playground’s rusted but it still can swing
The church bell echoes like it always rings
But faces fade like forgotten springs
[Prechorus]
Memory’s a photograph that blurs
But the heart remembers what it prefers
[Chorus]
Back to the old roads I know
Where the wind whispers soft and slow
Some things stay and some things go
Back to the old roads I know
[Bridge]
The cracks in the pavement still spell our names
The stars in the sky still play the same games
I left but the soil kept its claims
