I know somewhere they are drivin` lovin` women makin` money all the time
And ever since I was a little boy that`s all I`ve ever had on the mind
I had always been a music man I loved anything that rolls
And all I want is a piece of the road
Piece of the road a part of that traffic that`s passin` me by
Piece of the road a piece of that great big pie in the sky
Want you to use me like you want to Lord
But lemme carry a part of the load cause all I want is a piece of the road
Well forgive me if I love it just a little too much but you see
I have always been a part of the road and the road is such a big part of me
Well each man has his calling and mine is to rattle and roll
And all I want is a piece of the road
Piece of the road...
Well I ain`t too good but I ain`t too bad
Though I`ve been sorry for some things that I`ve done
I`ve got to have a piece of the road before I reach the end of my run
You know time ain`t no friend to no man I`ve got to get a road on this show
Cause all I want is a piece of the road
Piece of the road...
(Now I wanna go to Dallas Fort Worth Los Angeles New York Chicago
St Louis Olive Hill Kentucky
All I travel around and see all of them people and pick and sing)
