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
Livin' in the rhythm of the road
