| It’s time to go, I’m taking flight
|
| From now on I travel light
|
| I want to break and be remade
|
| I want the truth that I try to evade
|
| Go east or west, up or down
|
| Two ways to live, you swim or you drown
|
| So keep your fists up or get knocked out
|
| Won’t know you’re hit 'till you hear the ten count
|
| 'Cause the road is a boxer swinging his right
|
| A heavyweight champion that I’m gonna fight
|
| Toe to toe, eye to eye
|
| I’m gonna grapple with the muscle of life
|
| So give me the road
|
| Give me the road
|
| I want to sing in a country bar
|
| And get laid under a clear sky of stars
|
| No turning back, keep straight ahead
|
| I’ll light my patch with a cigarette
|
| 'Cause the road is a matchstick that I’m gonna strike
|
| And hold it up burning into the night
|
| I need adventure, I need a spark
|
| I’m now wasting my life in the dark
|
| So give me the road
|
| Give me the road |
