rhythm of the road

i'd rather be home

but i make my livin' on the go

big silver eagle spreads her wings

and drops us at another show

i think about holdin' my baby tonight

as i listin to the big wheels roll

three days into a six week tour

gettin' in the rhythm of the road

we pick and sing

say "goodnight" then we'll be flyin'

my world's a chain of one-night-stands

strung together by the center line

i don't know where i'll wake up tomorrow

but i can't let the tempo slow

every town is just another beat

livin' in the rhythm of the road

the rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own

if you find it it'll drive you insane

like the clackity-clack of a railroad track

i'm rattlin' like an old freight train

towns are flashin' by

the folks are wavin' "hi"

they all start to look the same

gotta stop for a minute

be glad i'm in it

remember just why i came

those highway signs

lord

they keep me on the move

i think about givin' it up sometimes

and gettin' in a diff'ren groove

but i just let the days slide by

get goin' with the flow

a four/four beat's the only time i keep

livin' in the rhythm of the road

a four/four beat's the only time i keep

livin' in the rhythm of the road

livin' in the rhythm of the road
