(Dan McCoy)
I`d rather be home,
But I make my livin` on the go
Big silver eagle spreads her wings
And drops us at another show
I think about holdin` my baby tonight
As I listin to the big wheels roll
Three days into a six week tour,
Gettin` in the rhythm of the road
We pick and sing,
Say goodnight then we`ll be flyin`
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 is just another beat,
livin` in the rhythm of the road
The rhythm of the road`s got a mind of its own
If you find it it`ll drive you insane
Like the clackity-clack of a railroad track
I`m rattlin` like an old freight train
Towns are flashin` by, the folks are wavin` hi
They all start to look the same
Gotta 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 givin` it up sometimes,
And gettin` in a diff`ren groove
But I just let the days slide by,
Get goin` with the flow
A four/four beat`s the only time I keep,
Livin` in the rhythm of the road
A four/four beat`s the only time I keep,
Livin` in the rhythm of the road
Livin` in the rhythm of the road
