I play the road
And the highway is our song
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd has come and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
Every exit is a season
Every signal is a beacon
And the wind it carries me
And it eases up my load
Everyday I drag the turns
Every candle still burns
And every lesson I have learned
Brings us closer to the crowd
I play the road
And the highway is our song
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
Well the bus it is our steeple
It brings us to the people
And they will be there waiting
Dancing young and old
And every one of us gets tired
But every one remains inspired
And every one of us require
To keep picking through our souls
I play the road
And the highway is our song
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
She says Daddy where do you go
When you leave me all these nights
With a suitcase and guitar in your hand?
Kissing me and mom goodbye with a tear and a smile
Where do you go
Daddy where do you go?
I play the road
And this highway is our song
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
Shaking off the miles
Mile after mile
Baby I'm coming home
