Lyrics

Well I'm heading on out on the road again
I'm coming back baby I don't when
Those wheels are rolling that lonesome sound
Please take me back mama when I came around
Cause the next time you see me
I'll be highway bound

Well I'm trying so hard just to get it riight
Working like a dog nearly every night
Rolling into town at the break of day
I'll steal your love and I'll drive away
And the next time you see me
I'll be highway bound

Well the lonesome road grows long and wide
I need a little place just to rest my hide
Sixteen hours is a long, long ride
How I'm wishing you were here by my side.

Well I'm heading on out on the road again
I'm coming back baby I don't when
Those wheels are rolling that lonesome sound
Please take me back mama when I came around
Cause the next time you see me
I'll be highway bound

SOLO

Well the lonesome road grows long and wide
I need a little place just to rest my hide
Sixteen hours is a long, long ride
How I'm wishing you were here by my side.

Well I'm heading back home this time to stay
I'm missing you baby in a terrible way
Those wheels are rolling that freedom sound
So don't you be mad when I'm not around
Cause the last time you'll see me
I'll be highway bound
