The Road Songtext / Lyric

Well, it's headlights and white lights and Black Tar Rivers

They're dragging me around this country as it withers

The billboards, signposts, standing in the way

Tell of the state of nations, that we find today



We play and we play and we play

To every day, every day, every day

To every day



And in the front rooms in old towns far from the city

With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity

The people gather 'round they sing songs from everywhere

They're torn from the nation but left without a care



And they play and they play and they play

To every day, every day, every day

To every day



And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word

Well, we'll rid the bloody world






'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always stay

The one's that always stay make the world go away

The words that you heard when you were young will always stay

The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away



Well, out of warm night and clear sky, European town

Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd

With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice

The exiled busker's are happy with their choice



And they play and they play and they play

To every day, every day, every day

To every day



And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word

Well, we'll rid the bloody world



'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always stay

The one's that always stay make the world go away

The words that you heard when you were young will always stay

The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away



Well, we play and we play and we play

To every day, every day, every day
