I Play The Road Songtext / Lyric

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

(Shaking off the miles)

(Mile after mile)

Mile after mile

Baby, I'm coming home
