Track 9 of "Rollin' On". Written by Jesse Daniel and Jodi Lyford
lyrics
Saw an old gas station on the interstate that reminds me of the one back home
Too young for the bar so we’d just sit in your car, playing tapes and getting stoned
Years went by, we lived our separate lives and I lost track of you along the way
Its been a long time since you crossed my mind and I thought about the good old days
Sam, where’d you go
You made a mess out west, so now its back out east you roam
I been wondering where you ran off to, but I feel like I already know
Sam, where’d you go
I remember the night that we got into a fight and the sheriff had to drive us home
And the look of shock in my poor mothers eyes as I stumbled in through the door
You told her that it was all your fault and that it’d never happen again
Like it or not I think it toughened me up, so I owe that to you my friend
Sam, where’d you go
You made a mess out west, so now its back out east you roam
I been wondering where you ran off to, but I feel like I already know
Sam, where’d you go
Nights like these so clear and bright, cold sweeps ‘cross the land
People wonder why you left but I think I understand
If I never see you again, well I hope you’ll hear this song
‘Cause I know the best thing that you can do sometimes is just getting gone
So buddy, just go get gone
Sam, where’d you go
You made a mess out west, so now its back out east you roam
I been wondering where you ran off to, but I feel like I already know
Sam, where’d you go
