piece of the road

i know somewhere they are drivin' lovin' women makin' money all the time

and ever since i was a little boy that's all i've ever had on the mind

i had always been a music man i loved anything that rolls

and all i want is a piece of the road

piece of the road a part of that traffic that's passin' me by

piece of the road a piece of that great big pie in the sky

want you to use me like you want to lord

but lemme carry a part of the load cause all i want is a piece of the road

well forgive me if i love it just a little too much but you see

i have always been a part of the road and the road is such a big part of me

well each man has his calling and mine is to rattle and roll

and all i want is a piece of the road

piece of the road. well i ain't too good but i ain't too bad

though i've been sorry for some things that i've done

i've got to have a piece of the road before i reach the end of my run

you know time ain't no friend to no man i've got to get a road on this show

cause all i want is a piece of the road

piece of the road. (now i wanna go to dallas fort worth los angeles new york chicago st louis olive hill kentucky

all i travel around and see all of them people and pick and sing)
