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
