lyrics

Walking down that red brick road, well I made my way to town.
Stopped at the elementary school and I had a look around.
See my name written on the board, and I see yours next to mine,
and you know that I start thinking 'bout all those good times.

Beat it down to the corner shop, and I head down to the tracks.
Now I'm at the water's edge, and I'm walk into the past.
Here's where Ricky broke his nose, man here's where Nelson died,
and you know that I start thinking 'bout all those hard times.

It's okay to tell 'em all the way
We said we're gonna come to them with something to say.
I'll stand alone til I know that when I'm home I will stay

Walking down that red brick road to the house I knew was gone.
Some uncovered the memories, I guess that's where they belong.
Of all the shit that I've been through, I guess I'm doing fine
Now I wake up every morning staring into the most beautiful eyes,
and I tell them "son, there's no easy way of doing hard time"
I tell him "there's no easy way of doing hard time"
