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
