Ragged As the Road

This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel It's a faded blue line, this road I travel And it's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man's switch Chorus: And I'm a rollin' faster Than a locomotive Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, Hotter than a smoking gun Ragged as the road I'm on Verse Two: This road I'm on has been cracked By the cold It's been scorched by the sun And searched by the soul And it's a working back breaking, It's a pick ax swinging It's steel wheels turning On steel rails singing Repeat Chorus Verse Three: This road lies ahead like life on a brush It's a virgin canvas free from human touch And it's ours for the taking or the leaving behind It's a ghost of the past with the future to find Chorus: It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, Hotter than a smoking gun Ragged as the road It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, Hotter than a smoking gun Ragged as the road I'm on
