Lyrics

Well, this old gravel road used to greet me with a smile
I’ve traveled it for years
Used to walk its many miles
But, oh, things change when you’re not looking

Now the dirt ‘neath my tires seems to slowly roll away
Like I’m not headed home
Just a drifter gone astray
But, oh, things change when you’re not looking

You’re not looking for a ticket back here
Where you arrive, hope it’s perfectly clear
That you’re not lost you just had to take off
While I wasn’t looking

Well, I open up my door and I take a look around
But these are not my things
They belong to you by now
And, oh, things change when you’re not looking

Yeah, I used to know a number
I could call you up at night
If just to hear your voice
Tell me it’ll be all right
But, oh, things change when you’re not looking

You’re not looking for a ticket back here
Where you arrive, hope it’s perfectly clear
That you’re not lost you just had to take off
While I wasn’t looking

Well, I wished you’d left a note when you finally said goodbye
I don’t need a lot to read
You could keep it to one line
Saying, oh, things change when you’re not looking

You’re not looking for a ticket back here
Where you arrive hope it’s perfectly clear
That you’re not lost you just had to take off
While I wasn’t looking

You’re not lost you just had to take off
While I wasn’t looking
