I'd rather be home
But I make my livin' on the go
Big silver eagle spreads her wings
And drops us at another showI 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 roadWe pick and sing
Say, "Goodnight" then we'll be flyin'
My world's a chain of one-night-stands
Strung together by the center lineI 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 roadThe 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 trainTowns 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 cameThose highway signs
Lord, they keep me on the move
I think about givin' it up sometimes
And gettin' in a diff'ren grooveBut 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 roadA four four beat's the only time I keep
Livin' in the rhythm of the road, yeah
Livin' in the rhythm of the road
