Current song lyrics
Sitting alone on my hotel <br />Looking in the mirror wondering, "well, <br />After all this time you never thought you'd still be out on the road?" <br />Like a gypsy I was born to roam <br />Like a wanderer with no fixed abode <br />I think about the friends I've left behind on the road <br /><br />Well, the road's been rocky along the way <br />It's been a long, hard haul on the motorway <br />But if it gets too smooth it's time to call it a day <br /><br />(On the road) <br />The bed and breakfasts and the greasy spoons <br />(The road) <br />The loser bars and the noisy rooms <br />(The road) <br />The casualties who did too many lines <br />(The road) <br />Wasted talent on women and wine <br /><br />I think of all the friends I've left behind <br />Whenever it's time to get back out on the road <br /><br />Started playing blues in a coffee bar <br />I took a trip down Charing Cross Road <br />With my imitation Gretsch guitar <br />And my head full of songs and my eyes full of stars <br />I saw a band called the Rolling Stones <br />I thought, "that's it, I'll get a band, <br />I'm leaving home, I'm out on the road." <br /><br />The motorways all over this land <br />(The road) <br />Far away places like Wigan and Birmingham <br />(The road) <br />Didn't have no name, didn't have any fans <br />(The road) <br />Didn't have no money so we slept in the van <br /><br />All those early gigs we ever played <br />Sometimes we were lucky if we even got paid <br />On the road <br />Pete played on the bass guitar <br />Liked to get around, mixing with all the stars <br />But Mrs. Avory's child was all fingers and thumbs <br />But solid as a rock, setting time on the drums <br />While Dave the Rave hit the rock 'n' roll riffs <br />Yours truly strummed away with a slightly limp wrist <br />On the road <br /><br />Everyday is when I can't get used to it <br />Everyday is when I can't get away <br />Another day, another freeway to face <br />That's the road <br /><br />Well, life is a road, it's a motorway <br />And the road gets rocky along the way <br />But if it gets too smooth it's time to call it a day <br /><br />(On the road) <br />Jimi Hendrix, The Who, the Led Zeppelin and Free <br />They took the road so it's alright by me <br />Some are survivors, SOME OF THEM BREAK<br />If you play in a band that's the road that you take <br />Living in it, eating in it, sleeping in it <br />You wake up in the morning, what do you see? <br />The road <br /><br />Life is a road, it's a motorway <br />Lost a lot of good friends along the way <br />All the families and homes that I've left behind <br />To the wives and the lovers and friends who had their time <br />I say, "you take your road and I'll take mine." <br />(You take your road and I'll take mine) <br />You take your road and I'll take mine <br />(You take your road and I'll take mine) <br /><br />Life is a road, it's a motorway <br />And the road gets rocky along the way <br />But if it gets too smooth it's time to call it a day <br /><br />(On the road) <br />Observed all the various phases from <br />Flower power, heavy metal and acid rock <br />And still all the critics keep saying <br />"Are they still around? When they gonna stop?" <br />It's just the dedicated followers of fashion who like putting down <br />All the well respected men who came dancing and are still on the road <br /><br />Sometime I get suicidal <br />Now everyone is a rival <br />Different cars, different bars and hotels <br />Corporations, big business and egos <br />When it all gets too bad I think back <br />When we were all each other had <br />When we started out on the road <br /><br />And there's gas in my tank and I've still got a way to go <br />Another hotel, it's time to check out soon <br />As I look around the room <br />I think of all the friends I've left behind <br />On the road
