There's a long row of zeros,shinin' in that dashboard light Another million miles in some rental car, another highway in the night Another day, another week, another month, away from my family But I'd be lying if I told you there's someplace I'd rather be Than livin' in roadhouses and automobiles There's a poor boy on the jukebox and I know just how he feels Livin' out of suitcases, livin’ out a fantasy There won't be nothin’ left when this road gets done with me Now it's a long road that brings me here, a lot of pain and folks left behind If the music hadn't pulled me through, I'd have probably lost my mind Ah, but my woman she understands it, her little daughter understands it, too They both love me for who I am, inseparable from what I do Than livin' in roadhouses and automobiles There's a poor boy on the jukebox and I know just how he feels Livin' out of suitcases, livin’ out a fantasy There won't be nothin’ left when this road gets done with me I'm a stranger to my children, a stranger to myself sometimes But that don't mean that this is just another sad song, if you read between the lines Between the lines it's just another Long row of zeros, shiain' in that dashboard light Another million miles in some rental car, another highway in the dark of night Another day, another week, another month, away from my family But I'd be lying if I told you there's someplace I'd rather be Than livin' in roadhouses and automobiles There's a poor boy on the jukebox and I know just how he feels Livin' out of suitcases, livin’ out a fantasy There won't be nothin’ left when this road gets done... with me This road gets done Chris Jones: vocals, guitar (C-G-D-G-G-D Capo V), highstrung-guitar Hans-Jörg Maucksch: fretless bass Yogi Jocknsch: atmosphere Martin Huch: pedal steel Christina Lux: backing vocals
