This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel
|
It's a faded blue line, this road I travel
|
And it's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
|
It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man's switch
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And I'm a rollin' faster than a locomotive
|
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, hotter than a smoking gun
|
Ragged as the road I'm on
|
|
This road I'm on has been cracked by the cold
|
It's been scorched by the sun and searched by the soul
|
And it's a working back breaking, it's a pick ax swinging
|
It's steel wheels turning on steel rails singing
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
This road lies ahead like life on a brush
|
It's a virgin canvas free from human touch
|
And it's ours for the taking or the leaving behind
|
It's a ghost of the past with the future to find
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
|
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, hotter than a smoking gun
|
Ragged as the road
|
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
|
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, hotter than a smoking gun
|
Ragged as the road I'm on
|
