I'd rather be home
But I make my living on the go
Big silver eagle spreads her wings
And drops us at another show
I think about holding my baby tonight
As I listen to the big wheels roll
Three days into a six week tour
Getting in the rhythm of the road
We pick and sing
Say good night then we'll be flying
My world's a chain of one-night-stands
Strung together by the center line
I don't know where I'll wake up tomorrow
But I can't let the tempo slow
Every town's just another beat
Living in the rhythm of the road
The rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own
If you fight it it'll drive you insane
Like the clackity-clack of a railroad track
I'm rattling like an old freight train
Towns are flashing by
The folks are waving hi
They all start to look the same
Got to stop for a minute
Be glad I'm in it
Remember just why I came
Those highway signs
Lord, they keep me on the move
I think about giving it up sometimes
And getting in a different groove
But I just let the days slide by
Get going with the flow
A four-four beat
Is the only time I keep
Living in the rhythm of the road
A four-four beat
Is the only time I keep
Living in the rhythm of the road
Yeah
Living in the rhythm of the road
