Wylde, Zakk - Road Back Home Lyrics






I look around, see that times ain't changed
Same old faces, same old names
All the things we thought we knew
You lie to me & I lie to you

Now all this time, you never sympathize
All this time, Can't find my way back inside

What you give is what you get
But you drew the line on me baby
Tears falling free but you can't see child
I'm just a touch away, baby

[Chorus]
Tell me where am I now,
Oh-oh - Why, where & how
Show me the road back home, oh-yeah
Tell me where am I now,
Oh-oh - Why, where & how
Show me the road back home, back home

The pain blew in like a hurricane
Stranger in this town bearing your name
Trapped in the silence with my memories
It's cutting me deep & its tellin' me, yeah

All this time, you never ever sympathize
All this time, I can't find my way back inside

Going nowhere & I'm headed there fast,
And I don't mean maybe...
The light is getting low,
And my touch is growing cold...
Oh, just hold me baby

[Chorus]

What you give is what you get
But you drew the line on me baby
Tears falling free but you can't see child
I'm just a touch away, baby

[Chorus]

  50. J.... R....

    Cut him some slack, some people take long than others to discover real music. lol

  51. v.... ....

    lol, zakks talent in just this one song, surpasses anything from Mc

  52. u.... ....

    It does have a similarity, however, Good Girls is terrible and was released in 2009 and Road Back Home was released in 1996

  53. v.... ....

    You're a fuckin dumbass. I you would have took 2 fuckin minutes to research before you typed this bullshit you would know that Zakks song came first.

    Tim McGraw is a talentless douchebag.

  54. T.... R....

    fucking somg gives me chills.

  55. m.... r....

    ZAKK FOR PRESIDENT!!! S.D.M.F. Brookhaven Pa

  66. S.... ....

    Gasp what you saying? never or do you mean Tim? Cuz that ain't Zakk Wylde style never was never gonna be! He's an original and always has been. People might not like all the new stuff he's doing now, but it's still all new, all different and all Zakk no matter what! I have always loved that about him!

  67. B.... D....

    This is my favorite song!

  68. c.... ....

    LOL. As much as if may pain some of you, listen to Tim McGraw's 'Good Girls.' It is THIS SONG, nearly note for note, musically. Plagiarism, anyone?

    c.... ....

    Captainmorgan555 is the biggest dumbass on the internet. HANDS DOWN.

  69. H.... ....

    I must have contributed at least 1000 views to this over the years lol! :)

  70. R.... ....

    How can this only have approx 33,000 views? Some of the best under rated music, and I'm proud to have it as part of my soundtrack. Life wouldn't be the same without it.

  71. f.... ....

    The Viking God on bended knee when he sang this song. may your music live forever Zakk.

  72. f.... ....

    Whenever I go on a run, I listen to music. I've taken to listening to the entire Book of Shadows album (every song is quality!). This is bar-none the GREATEST SONG IN THE WORLD to finish a run with, and I'll pop it on when I'm about a 2/3 of a mile away from home. "Show me the road back home, back home!" GUITAR SOLO! No matter how tired I am, I finish on a strong note. For Zakk, for me. Zakk's solos are the best!

  73. s.... ....

    Just a touch a way...amazing lyrics.

  74. J.... ....

    @blackfootbuddah Know this... When Zakk dies, people will quickly buy all his albums and say out loud "He was the greatest" "Screw MJ and Dio, Zakk was the best" etc. I've met Zakk once in Helsinki, and I've been twice in BLS concert. I will never, NEVER forget those days. Zakk truly is master!

  75. D.... C....

    He really is good at what he does!

  76. a.... ....

    fuck man zakk may want to look heavy and tough but he has balls and heart,he has a pure soul and a lot feeling...i love him...

  77. C.... S....

    Zakk is one of the few artists that can go off from a band(s) and make brilliant music on their own. He covers a wide range of fuking pure awesome music and I'm so happy to have discovered him for myself.

  78. D.... ....

    I might not be the wisest individual in the world but I've spent the majority of my life listening and looking for the greatest songs to appreciate, and this one is definitely special. The music alone is supreme and beyond compare.

  79. R.... M....

    The album was first released on Geffen Records in 1996, and then after a period of being unavailable it was reissued by another company (I think it was Eagle Rock, but I forget).

  80. s.... ....

    @TheOcean93 ops wrong, :P blame him for what?

  81. s.... ....

    @SilentMonotone Blame him for what?

  82. D.... B....

    zakk is well now he go this operation already and he said some other things so yeah hes all good now

  83. I.... M....

    Strength

    Determination

    Merciless

    Forever

  84. A.... ....

    Awesome song.

  85. R.... M....

    I wholeheartedly agree that this is the best thing Zakk has ever done. This song always stirs my emotions, and frequently brings tears to my eyes.

  86. R.... M....

    This song isn't about Dime. This song was released in 1996.

  87. b.... ....

    totally agreed.

  88. r.... ....

    In my opinion, best album he put out solo
