I'm livin' it out on the road
I've got so far to go
The one that I love is at home
she is a part of me
I stare at the road till my eyes turn red
This book in my lap and a thought in my head of you
And all you have done for me

Something keeps drivin' me on 
When I just don't want to go
I carry this feeling inside
That nobody wants to know
So why would you choose to be usin' me
I've never been quite what they want to see from you
But it's all I can do

The road is so demanding, Lord
I can't give more than I have
I know how much I need your love
I can't give more than you've given me

And I stand in some corner back stage
And eat what's not good for me
I sleep in another hotel with the radio on
And I dream of my home where I belong
I don't just travel this far for a song or two
But I'll do it for you

Well I know that the number on e thing
Is spendin' my time with you
This road gives me plenty of time
To hear what you have to say
Sometimes you don't speak a word at all
But here I am waiting to answer your call to me
And I hope you can see
I'm out on the road
