I'm livin' it out on the road

And I've got so far to go

The one that I love is at home

And she is a part of me

I stare at the road 'til my eyes turn red

The book on my lap

And the thought in my head of you



Somethin' keeps drivin' me on

When I just don't want to go

I carry this feelin' inside

That nobody want to know

So why would you choose to be using me

I've never been quite what they want to see from you



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 backstage

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

And I didn't just travel this far for a song or two

But I'll do it for you



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



Well I know that the number one thing

Is spending my time with you

And 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
