|
I got money in my pocket and a guitar in my hand |
|
These lonely nights without you are more than I can stand |
|
I work like a puppet but it's time to cut the strings |
|
Well I hit the ground running and I won't be looking back |
|
I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one way track |
|
It won't take too long just you wait and see |
|
As long as it will lead me back to you |
|
Any old stretch of blacktop will do |
|
North, south, east or west been everywhere it seems |
|
Uptown rooms and honky tonks don't feel like home to me |
|
I'll be stepping out the rhythm while I'm singing a new song |
|
And it's knowing where I'm going that will keep me moving on |
|
Turn my collar to the wind and put my thumb up in the air |
|
Flag a diesel down or catch a bus from anywhere |
|
Colorado, California, or even Kalamazoo |
|
As long as it will lead me back to you |
|
Any old stretch of blacktop will do |
|
Well I hit the ground running and I won't be looking back |
|
I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one way track |
|
It won't take too long just you wait and see |
|
As long as it will lead me back to you |
|
Any old stretch of blacktop will do, alright |
|
North, south, east or west been everywhere it seems |
|
Uptown rooms and honky tonks don't feel like home to me |
|
I'll be stepping out the rhythm while I'm singing a new song |
|
'Cause right around the corner I see the lights of our home |
