“Sawmill Road,” also titled “Down on Sawmill Road,” is a song recorded by Lost and Found, the Virginia bluegrass band founded in the early 1970s by the bassist Allen Mills.
The song is set on a country road and looks back at the life lived along it. Sawmill Road becomes a figure for home and for the past — a remembered place the singer carries with him.
Lost and Found were longtime fixtures of the Virginia bluegrass scene. The version heard here is by Lost and Found.
