    LYRICS
    From downtown Dallas to a cabin on the coast
    From the shadow of the towers to the sun in Ohio
    From the bottom of a bottle to the palazzo
    Who knows where the road goes
    From the Blackfoot River to White Sands, New Mexico
    From Salt Lake City to my honey in Tupelo
    From the barroom floor to the bardo
    Who knows where the road goes
    Oh you could have died that day
    Back when you thought none of this was worth it
    When you thought everything was broken
    Oh you didn't know yet
    Someday you'd watch this big green river flow
    Who knows where the road goes
    From the Great Divide to the gulf of Mexico
    From the underpass to the private bungalow
    From the Grand Hotel to the one in Psycho
    Who knows where the road goes
    I'm so glad you decided to stick around
    Look what you found
    Look at all the beautiful things you found
    Oh you could have died that day
    Back when you thought none of this was worth it
    When you thought everything was broken
    Oh you didn't know yet
    Someday you'd watch this big green river flow
    Who knows where the road goes

    WOW!!!! I was not expecting to see the 9-year-old me in this music video (I'm the kid shown from 1:21-1:23). I met you all at your sound check at the Bluebird Theater in Denver, back in '98 or '99, thanks to my mom (Kristin) who was a big fan of yours starting back in Dallas. I still remember playing Ken's guitar and thought you all were the coolest people in the world. Your music has been a crucial part of my life. Here I am 25 years later, and I am singer-songwriter and actor myself and have my own wife and 10-month-old daughter now. Life is so profound, and I am so grateful to have had your music in my life all of these years. I so hope to meet you again! Can't wait to see you in Denver this April 20th!!! Thank you all so much!!! Love, Christopher Robin

      Who are these guys? Were they in a Bradley Cooper movie? A friend claims to have seen them in Corrado once, at some niteclub, the show when the roof nearly came off. Holy smokes. Barely made it out with a pretty lady. So he tells it. Warned me these guys are dangerous. Though it sounded like rumor or myth so I dismissed it at the time

    Right outta high school, Me and my best friend were out on some backroads in my 95 bronco just taking a cruise, back in like 2013, when “big brown eyes” came on Sirius radios outlaw country, and right then hearing them first time i knew it was something special. The next day i was off, and i drove straight into town to F.y.e. And found the album “too far to care” and i don’t think it ever came back out of my cd player lol. Over the years i would see them all over ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland and learned to play a few of their songs. This music got me through my darkest moments and helped me find a better path. A couple of years ago I proposed at a show with help from the band and i even have an autographed copy of rhetts first childrens book for my daughter. And of course the whole amazing world of alternative country the old 97s opened up for me from drive by truckers to turnpike troubadours. Im so thankful for that one night that they caught my ear

    The Old 97's, wow, what an incredibly introspective song about all the winding roads, rivers, and skies we experience, a powerful song of love, loss, life, grieving, despair and contentment. My heart hurts and heals both listening to this Magnum Opus of their seasoned journey. I love the ending instrumentals...sort of reminds me of the Moody Blues ending to "I Know You're Out There Somewhere." Thank you, Old 97's...
