Shenandoah - Any Ole Stretch of Blacktop lyrics

[Verse 1] I got money in my pocket and a guitar in my hand Those lonely nights without you hon, is more than I can stand I work like a puppet but it's time to cut the string [Chorus] I hit the ground runnin' and I won't be lookin' back I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one-way track It won't take too long, just you wait and see As long as it will lead me back to you Any ole stretch of blacktop will do [Verse 2] North, south, east or west, I've been everywhere it seems Hotel rooms and honky-tonks don't feel like home to me I'll be steppin' out the rhythm while I'm singin' a new song Knowin' where I'm goin', it keeps me movin' on [Verse 3] I'll turn up my collar to the wind And put my thumb up in the air Flag a diesel down and catch a bus from anywhere Colorado, California, even Kalamazoo As long as it will lead me back to you Any ole stretch of blacktop will do [Instrumental break] [Chorus] I hit the ground runnin' and I won't be lookin' back I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one-way track It won't take too long, just you wait and see As long as it will lead me back to you Any ole stretch of blacktop will do [Instrumental break] [Verse 2, repeated] North, south, east or west Been everywhere it seems Hotel rooms and honky-tonks Don't feel like home to me I'll be steppin' out the rhythm While I'm singin' a new song 'Cause right around the corner will be the lights of our home [Instrumental to fade]
