Back On the Road
(T. + M. Andreas Genrich)
1.
I remenber well the time that momma told me,
Son, always live the Golden Rule,
And I remember well the time they broke my daddy's back with just a shrug.
Seems to me a lot of things aren't what they're supposed to be,
Better not believe in all the crazy lies you see,
Never let them sell your soul, better disagree,
Or you'll end up just like me.
Chorus:
On the road, back on the road,
Tryin' hard not to look back, it's a heavy load,
Just my guitar and a ragged old coat,
I'm back on the road.
2.
I grew up and realized that momma had been wrong,
That Golden Rule just don't work out,
And I realized that soon in this jungle I would share my daddy's fate.
Learned the ways of the world, I learned cheating's ins and outs,
Learned to forget everything I cared about,
Still I feel I’m nothing but a small wheel in the crowd,
Makes me want to just get out
Chorus:
On the road, …
3.
I've seen people sell their love for power and the back seat of a big black limousine,
And I've seen grief and glory goin' together hand in hand on either side.
Can it be there's not a thing that you and I could do,
Couldn't we try and make our dream of better times come true,
Baby won’t you take my hand and don't you feel so blue,
Let me help you make it through.
Chorus:
On the road, …
