Grew up singing, played an old guitar.
Made a little money, bought an even older car.
Momma said she saw it coming day I had to leave.
All she could say was a prayer for me.
Concrete ribbon under my wheels,
Winding on I can't stay still.
Concrete ribbon, I'm anywhere bound.
Set me free and tie me down.
Hair so dark and eyes so blue.
Just another town I was passing through.
Love me tender, lover me strong.
All I could say was “I can't stay longâ€.
Concrete ribbon under my wheels,
Winding on I can't stay still.
Concrete ribbon, I'm anywhere bound.
Set me free and tie me down.
Mamma knows it's me by the ring of the phone.
Every single sunday like it's carved in stone.
Said she don't understand these things I do.
All I could say was “I love you tooâ€.
Concrete ribbon under my wheels,
Winding on I can't stay still.
Concrete ribbon, I'm anywhere bound.
Set me free and tie me down.
Set me free and tie me down.
Set me free and tie me down.
