greener grass or a lighter load
i was glad to see the blacktop
when they laid it down in '65
greener grass or a lighter load
i was glad to see the blacktop
when they laid it down in '65
goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
and feed my soul where the blacktop ends
i'm lookin' down the barrel of friday night
goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
and feed my soul where the blacktop ends
i'm lookin' down the barrel of friday night
you run beneath
the blacktop spreads
the blacktop spreads
you run beneath
the blacktop spreads
the blacktop spreads
i wanna know who found the rock
tell me who laid the blacktop
it was the rock and the blacktop that caused this pain
i wanna know who found the rock
tell me who laid the blacktop
it was the rock and the blacktop that caused this pain
and if i pass my goodness on the road
if i see it on the blacktop
and if i recognize and ask to hold it
and if i pass my goodness on the road
if i see it on the blacktop
and if i recognize and ask to hold it
and we ain't scared of doing it the hard way
'cause our way is. red white and blue just rolling down the blacktop
bulldogs barking till the can't do backs off
and we ain't scared of doing it the hard way
'cause our way is. red white and blue just rolling down the blacktop
bulldogs barking till the can't do backs off
and we ain't scared of doing it the hard way
'cause our way is. red white and blue just rolling down the blacktop
bulldogs barking till the can't do backs off
and we ain't scared of doing it the hard way
'cause our way is. red white and blue just rolling down the blacktop
bulldogs barking till the can't do backs off
hey darlin'!
sleeping on the blacktop
hey darlin'!
hey darlin'!
sleeping on the blacktop
hey darlin'!
hey darlin'!
sleeping on the blacktop
hey darlin'!
hey darlin'!
sleeping on the blacktop
hey darlin'!
the sunburn on my shoulders kept me warm back then
like the heat from the blacktop again and again
i remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs
the sunburn on my shoulders kept me warm back then
like the heat from the blacktop again and again
i remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs
head down to new orleans
i should be wearing out the blacktop
out there with the boys i love
head down to new orleans
i should be wearing out the blacktop
out there with the boys i love
start
she strides across the blacktop
low-sun lit
start
she strides across the blacktop
low-sun lit
you dreamer
bring your feet back to the blacktop
so you can be like the rest of us
you dreamer
bring your feet back to the blacktop
so you can be like the rest of us
as the ballet of the impact
spreads out across the blacktop
angels dancing down like raindrops
as the ballet of the impact
spreads out across the blacktop
angels dancing down like raindrops
