Jacob Vincent - Blackwood Road Lyrics

I know how to skip, every stoplight in this town
Guess it ain't hard to do when there's only one of them around
Lived here for seventy years, built a house and raised the kids
Now we'll pack it up in boxes, let the auctioneer take the bids

I've seen plenty of old friends, come and go
Every blade of grass in the lawn the seed I sowed
Each harvest watched my mother work her hands to the bone
This wasn't just a house, it was my home

And out on Blackwood Road I wake up when the rooster crows
It ain't easy to leave behind
Thought I'd die out here, where I lost all my hair
Out on Blackwood Road

Spent harsh winters by the fire, and every autumn in the leaves
But now the sold sign is up, it's almost time to leave
And I'll miss the long driveway that I paved on my own
This wasn't just a house, it was my home

And out on Blackwood Road I wake up when the rooster crows
It ain't easy to leave behind
Thought I'd die out here, where I lost all my hair
Out on Blackwood Road, out on Blackwood Road

And out on Blackwood Road, wake up when the rooster crows
It ain't easy to leave behind
Thought I'd die out here, where I lost all my hair
Out on Blackwood Road, out on Blackwood Road
