The Road

Well, it's headlights and white lights and Black Tar Rivers They're dragging me around this country as it withers The billboards, signposts, standing in the way Tell of the state of nations, that we find today We play and we play and we play To every day, every day, every day To every day And in the front rooms in old towns far from the city With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity The people gather 'round they sing songs from everywhere They're torn from the nation but left without a care And they play and they play and they play To every day, every day, every day To every day And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word Well, we'll rid the bloody world 'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always stay The one's that always stay make the world go away The words that you heard when you were young will always stay The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away Well, out of warm night and clear sky, European town Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice The exiled busker's are happy with their choice And they play and they play and they play To every day, every day, every day To every day And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word Well, we'll rid the bloody world 'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always stay The one's that always stay make the world go away The words that you heard when you were young will always stay The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away Well, we play and we play and we play To every day, every day, every day
