There are ghosts in the street
And the window is open
There's the sound of a catfight in the rain
And the smell of the earth
Where the storm is broken
And the howl of a southbound train

And the water's sewing sequins on the glass
I'm not here to answer so don't even ask

'Cause the road rolls on
Yeah, the road rolls on

Will you take me out
Oh, to where the sky is full
Of music from the traffic of the town
I've got a head for drinking
And I've got money in my pocket
And I wanna try and turn this night around

And the poundstore Romeos all want a fight
And their breath is thick with Jagerbombs and appetite

But the road rolls on
Yeah, the road rolls on

So I'll turn off the radio
And I'll turn out the light
Let the darkness wrap its arms around my waist
There's a full moon out there somewhere
And it's sailing on the ocean
Lighting up another stranger's face

And somewhere there's a song I haven't heard
And somewhere there are crosshairs on a mockingbird

But the road rolls on
Yeah, the road rolls on
Yeah, the road rolls on
