[Verse 1]
Out on the road
Baby shedding some tears
Song in my heart
Ringing in my ears
I'm always steady
Grinding through the gears
Out on the road
Hell, I been here for years
[Chorus]
I got blood on my guitar
My dirty strings
I need a shower
The van needs gasoline
Find a girl to maybe
Spend the night with me
Out on the road, yeah it's getting to me
[Verse 2]
All the way from California
Down to New Orleans
Next we're headed up north
Another east coast swing
Man, it's been a while
Since my friends have seen me
So I'll put you and your girl
On the list plus three
[Chorus]
Out on the road
Might be shedding some tears
Song in my heart
Ringing in my ears
I must've drank
About a thousand beers
Out on the road
Hell, I been here for years
[Verse 3]
I'm flat broke
Got a busted wheel
Some drink tickets
And one hot meal
Song and dance for the radio station
Out on the road
I think you're testing my patience
[Chorus]
Out on the road
Yeah it's getting to me
I had a girl
But she stung me like a bee
Now the band's my only family
Out on the road, yeah it's getting to me
[Verse 4]
Another roadside
Truck stop, city limit sign
I swear I must've passed
About a thousand times
On up ahead underneath the green light
Please don't say that's the hotel tonight
[Chorus]
Out on the road
Might be shedding some tears
Song in my heart
Ringing in my ears
I'm always steady
Grinding through the gears
Out on the road
Well, I been here for years
Out on the road
[Outro]
Out on the road, baby
Out on the road, honey
Out on the road
Well, I been here for years
(Out on the road)
Out on the road, baby
Out on the road, honey
Out on the road
Well, I been here for years
(Out on the road)
Out on the road, baby
Out on the road, honey
Out on the road
Well, I been here for years
(Out on the road)
Out on the road, baby
Out on the road, honey
Out on the road
Well, I been here for years
(Out on the road)
Out on the road, baby
Out on the road, honey
Out on the road
Well, I been here for years
