Lyrics

Always goin' from town to town
But tryin' to believe I might settle down soon
Making it to where the opportunities are found
Racing, chasing, eyes embracing, cast down highway moon
You know I take to the road
When I find that the load on my mind
Has me blind to the times
I can have on the highway goin' my way
Living in cities where the lights never dim
And trees raised in concrete grow slim and die
People walking, talking, faces glum and grim
Packing my thoughts I give in to a whim
And I get on the move
Get in a new groove and run with the sun
To someplace near a highway where I can live my way
I'm driven to livin' and learnin' life's lesson
For possessin' obsessions for messin' around
If I get in a rut and start sayin' "So what?"
And instead of cuttin', I just start puttin' things down
I better take to the street
Before I get weak in the head and get led
To a bed full of life's purple roses on my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
To a bed full of life's purple roses on my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
To a bed full of life's purple roses on my way
