We've sure had the snow for December   Just one open road to town   But it's three night's runnin' I've stood here   Watchin' you headed back down that yellow river road      Now this winter is closin' in   Looks like it's gonna be long and hard   Go on down be with your friends   Just don't go too far      Down the yellow river road   You know I always say that you ought to go   When you need some time alone   But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way   Then you ought to know   You've gone too far   Down the yellow river road      That road goes lots of places   But don't forget it's my road too   And I won't have friends with guilty faces   Watchin' me walkin' with you down the yellow river road      Could be all this snow that's fallin'   Makin' me think there's something wrong   But that road goes both ways darlin'   You could come home      Down the yellow river road   You know I always say that you ought to go   When you need some time alone   But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way   Then you ought to know   You've gone too far   Down the yellow river road      Down the yellow river road   You know I always say that you ought to go   When you need some time alone   But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way   Then you ought to know   You've gone too far   Down the yellow river road
