Barefoot McCoy - The Road Lyrics
Hitch-a-hikin' yellow highway linesThrough minin’ towns with railway signsAcross the Mason-Dixon Line and I'm on fire.I'm ridin’ in the cold train carAnd sleepin' under every star—The space has never felt so far to where you are.And although I will love you ’til the end,The road's my only friend.I'm a-dancin’ on the oil rigs,Just like Rockefeller did.I’m livin' like an outlaw kid, my heart is hid.I'm on a raft with old hook Finn,Countin’ waves to where you been,Listenin’ to the rain and wind a-whisperin’.So let the river roll and free my soul.Thank God if life only makes you old.And although I will love you ’til the end,The road's my only friend.I'm a-livin’ in a different time;I’m dyin’ on the other side;Leavin’ this old world behind and I feel fineOh, I'm livin’ by the canyon lightAnd dyin’ by the old dig site,Searchin’ for this heart of mine I know I'll never find.Though I could lead you helpless by the hand,It's a world you'd never understand.So let the river roll and free my soul.Thank God if life only makes you old.And although I will love you ’til the end,The road's my only friend.
