Lyrics

The road, the road is a killer
Backed up by devious men
The road, the road is a killer, yeah, yeah
But you always go back again
Twenty percent of my money
Is twenty percent of my soul
You've got to understand one thing, baby
I live, I don't play this rock and roll
Out on the road, (On the road)
On the road, baby, (On the road)
On the road, (On the road)
Twisted wicked highway
Long and lonesome road, yeah
Now you walk on stage and you're blinded
Losing your way in the night
Sixteen thousand people are waiting, yeah, yeah
So you do a crazy dance in the light
In the morning you're back on the highway
Still searching for that pot of gold
You started out so young, strong and eager
And in the morning you're lonely and you're cold
Out on the road, (On the road)
On the road, (On the road)
On the road, (On the road)
Twisted wicked highway
Long and lonesome road, yeah
I'm walking and I'm talking to myself
And my feet are freezing, freezing
Freezing me to death
The road, the road is a killer
It'll sneak up at you from behind
It makes you a slave in the long run, Lord
It takes your body, soul and your mind
Out on the road, (On the road)
On the road, baby, (On the road)
On the road, (On the road)
Twisted wicked highway
Long and lonesome road, yeah, yeah
Stranded and I'm standing
Waiting and I'm watching
For my time to come
Sometimes I wonder how it all began
Sometimes I see myself giving up, but then
Lord, I've got to get back on the highway
And find my dreams
It's long, long and winding
It will make you break down and scream
Out on the road, road, road, yeah
Talking 'bout twisted wicked
Twisted wicked highway
Road, Lord, road
Got to keep on walking, baby
Road, yeah, Lord
Twisted wicked highway
