Lyrics

We drove my father's truck that night
On Sutherland Road
Our hearts were swelled with passion
Emotions exposed
We swore undying love we never would forsake
The starlight dancing off of the lake

You left for college far away
Later that year
I asked some friends about you
But never did hear
I joined the army and soon shipped out for the war
I still don't know what the hell it was for

I got my discharge, came home last May
I heard you married, moved away
Guess your dreams were bigger now
Than this small town could hold
A world away from Sutherland Road

I heard that your father passed away
Know you came back for just one day
I was drinking at Eddi's Bar
And watched you walk on by
I nearly choked on the tears I couldn't cry

Last night I found myself
Up on Sutherland Road
The soft grass glistened still
From the last time it snowed
I took my clothes off and I dove into that lake
Trying not to feel my frozen heart break

Beautifully executed song and perfectly sung. Vocalist sounds eerily like Don Henley in places.
