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
