I Play The Road
ChorusI play the road and the highway is our songAnd every city’s like the same three chordsBeen helping us along when the story’s toldAnd the crowd has come and goneShaking off the miles and trying to make it home
Every exit is a season, every signal is a beaconAnd the wind, it carries me, and it eases up my loadEveryday I drag the turns, and every candle still burnsAnd every lesson I have learned brings us closer to the crowd
Chorus
Well, the bus, it is our steeple, it brings us to the peopleAnd they will be there waiting, dancing young and oldAnd every one of us gets tired, but every one remains inspiredAnd every one of us required to keep picking through our souls
Chorus
She says, “Daddy, where do you goWhen you leave me all these nightsWith a suitcase and guitar in your hand?Kissing me and mom goodbye with a tear and a smileWhere do you go, Daddy, where do you go?”
Chorus
Shaking off the miles, shaking off the milesMile after mile, mile after mileBaby, I’m coming home
