lyrics

And I've been walking around this town
Trying to find my way out
And hitch myself a ride to a place west of here
A place with a single road that runs straight south
To the old folks home
And the church in the north with the great stained glass windows
I need to know is it hard
To find my way back when I have been gone so long
I don't even own the keys to the front door my childhood home
And I need to know is it worth
Every mile of this open road
Will you help me get back on track to where need to get going

Oh I’ll get going
Oh I'll get going

Old man Joe worked for years
At the old farm house out on the edge of town
The day has come for him to hang up his spurs
I'm not sure if his ready to go
But if he'd like I'll drive him home
To that big white house on the southern part of town
I'm not sure what it is to me
But every time I see Joe I see a part of me
Will I know when it's my time to go

Oh I’ll get going
Oh I'll get going

I know
That it's a long way to go
When your home you will know
If it's worth the trip
I know
That it's a long way to go
When your home you will know
If it's worth the trip

And I've been walking around this town
Trying to find my way back to my childhood home on the east cost
Back to the great Pennsylvania woods
The small town with the neighborhood kids
Playing ghost in the grave yard
Run run run
Run
Old man Joe taught me a lot
You got one life so live the one you got
And don't spend your days with one foot out the door
And if you got some place better to be
Please go don't waste it on me
‘Cause this may be your only opportunity

Oh I’ll get going
Oh I'll get going
Oh I’ll get going
Oh I'll be gone
