I play the road, 

And the highway is our song, 

And every city's like the same three chords 

Been helping us along when the story's told 

And the crowd has come and gone 

Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 



Every exit is a season, 

Every signal is a beacon 

And the wind, it carries me 

And it eases up my load 

Everyday I drag the turns 

Every candle still burns 

And every lesson I have learned 

Brings us closer to the crowd 



I play the road, 

And the highway is our song, 

And every city's like the same three chords 

Been helping us along when the story's told 

And the crowd is done and gone 

Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 



Well the bus it is our steeple, 

It brings us to the people 

And they will be there waiting, 

Dancing young and old 

And every one of us gets tired, 

But every one remains inspired 

And every one of us require 



To keep picking through our souls 



I play the road, 

And the highway is our song, 

And every city's like the same three chords 

Been helping us along when the story's told 

And the crowd is done and gone 

Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 



She says, "Daddy where do you go 

When you leave me all these nights 

With a suitcase and guitar in your hand? 

Kissing me and mom goodbye with a tear and a smile, 

Where do you go, 

Daddy where do you go?" 



I play the road, 

And this highway is our song, 

And every city's like the same three chords 

Been helping us along when the story's told 

And the crowd is done and gone 

Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 

Shaking off the miles 

(Shaking off the miles) 

(Mile after mile) 

Mile after mile 

Baby, I'm coming home
