Lyrics
These city lights can't beat a harvest moon
Ten thousand miles of sidewalk to a country boy in June
I'm up here in a penthouse
Got a feather bed and Georgia on my mind
They got me talkin' funny
Walkin' like a big wheel struttin' down Fifth Avenue
And they say back roads lead to nowhere
They'll just take you on a round trip dreamer's ride
But the main roads that I've traveled
Left me stranded so many times
And left memories of the bad times that I've had
I guess this year I'll make some plans for home
This sinless sound of the beat just ain't my kind of song
I can have the most expensive kind of fun
To take this rat race off my mind
And behind a phony smile
The tears keep tellin' me I'll always feel alone
And they say back roads lead to nowhere
They'll just take you on a round trip dreamer's ride
But the main roads that I've traveled
Left me stranded so many times
And left memories of the bad times that I've had
