Amy & Roger's Epic Detour (44 page)
Yesterday, when you were young . . .
A love-struck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade.
And you’re doing fine in Colorado.
Have you ever been down to Colorado? I spend a lot of time there in my mind.
Those memories so steeped in yesterday. Those memories you couldn’t run away.
4 Through Adversity to the Stars
I’ve reached the point of know return.
Where they love me, where they know me, where they show me, back in Missouri.
I called your line too many times.
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill.
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home.
You’d better go on home, Kentucky gambler.
I said, blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining.
We both will be received in Graceland.
Well they’ve been so long on Lonely Street they ain’t ever going to look back.
I was on your porch last night.
I’ll be right here with you, come what may.
If you don’t mind, North Carolina is where I want to be.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
You’ve Got a Friend in Pennsylvania.
Good-bye, so long, farewell . . .
Into the woods, then out of the woods, and home before dark.

But I think it only fair to warn you, all those songs about California lied.
You ain’t never caught a rabbit, and you ain’t no friend of mine.
I’d like to dream my troubles all away on a bed of California stars.
You’ll be missed, Miss California.
2 The Loneliest Road in America
Long-distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
She’s gonna make a stop in Nevada.
We’re on the road to nowhere. Come on inside.
