Lyrics
I don't care for the straight and norrow-it'snever held to much appeal-still there's something to be said for a roof and a bed ,and not worrying about your next meal. ch there's more rain in the forcast and water's leaking through the dam, you goyya run outta road to get where I am. the romance of life on the highway-always looked like livin a dream-an often told story,the search for love and gpory-in books and on the silver screen. ch2 I came here with great expectations,but things didn't work out as planned-it's hard to find solid foundation with your feet on shifting sand-you gottarun outta road to get where I am. with no guarantee just the livin-and the beat of a different drum-at the end of the day I did it my own way-and I'm ready to take what may come. ch3 there just ain't no supper highwayto take you to some promissed land you gotta run outta road to get where I am.
