An old friend contacted me a while back and I experienced a flood of old memories. Before I knew it, this song was finished. The particular memory that inspired the song was when I was hanging out with a bunch of friends in high school on our motorcycles. My best friend Jeff had just informed me that his family was moving a few thousand miles away.

Looking back down the long road
All of my old friends are standing at the side of the road
I can hear their voices but where did they go
They all went their own ways a long, long time ago

A long time coming, longer still to go
I turn my collar to the cold
Gone are the friendships worth a ton of gold
Looking back down the long road

How did the years go so fast
And how did we find our separate roads
I went looking for something that I hope you found
We rise up from the Earth and wind up back in the ground
