CHEESEBURGER ROAD Oh the years go by and now the boy is (To the tune of Gooseberry Pie) twenty, Though his dreams have lost some grandeur Cheeseburger Road, Cheeseburger Road coming true With the catsup on the top and the pickles There'll be new dreams, maybe better on the side dreams and plenty Juicy with meat, can't be beat; Before the last revolving years are through. I'll tell you the reason why: Well there's singles and there's doubles and CHORUS triples, too! But compared to my favorite they're all PU!

Yesterday a child came out to wonder CHORUS: Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Country Roads, take me home Fearful when the sky was full of thunder to the place, I belong And tearful at the falling of a star. West Virginia, Mountain Momma Take me home, country roads CHORUS: And the seasons they go round and round Almost Heaven West Virginia And the painted ponies go up and down Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River We're captive on a carousel of time Dark and dusty, painted on the sky We can't return; we can only look behind Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my from where we came eye And go round and round and round in the circle game. CHORUS
Then the child moved ten times round I hear her voice in the morning as she calls the season to me Skated over ten clear frozen streams Radio reminds me of my home far away Words like when you're older must appease and driving down the road I get a feeling him That I should have been home yesterday, And promises of someday make his dreams yesterday
