From the recording Set Two (mp3 download)
A romantic view of the lonesome road.
Lyrics
Got no change in my jeans
I’m runnin’ low on all my hopes and dreams
But I’ve got a melody stashed deep in my heart
It’s been drivin’ me since the very start
Playin’ all night livin’ life without care
Seein’ all the different towns and folks everywhere
Frozen stars in a deep velvet sky
Yeah brother that’s why I ride
Way out yonder is where I’m longing to be
Maybe somewhere along Interstate 40 somebody waits for me
There’s thin clouds dancin’ out the moon
The radio's knockin’ out a swingin’ tune
Early morning drivin’ with that angel close by my side
Yeah brother that’s why I ride
Way out yonder is where I’m longing to be
Maybe somewhere along 66 Lady Luck waits for me
Tonight I sleep with a dreamy heart
Maybe tomorrow I’ll get a new start
I can hear the road singin’ as we pass through the night
Yeah brother that’s why I ride
