I Play the Road

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 everyone 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
