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
