Road man driving in the road van

He's got to beat the clock to the next town

Road man driving in the road van

I set up the sound system for the band

Road man slow it down

And you will get there safe and sound

He says no no no the show must go on

Road man driving like a mad man

Breaking land speed records in the van

Road man he don't mind police man

Leaving a trail of ripped up citations

Chorus

Road man heavy load

He's got to stop and smell the rose

Road man he says no go

I've got to be the king of the road

Road man didn't see the train man

Until it was too late to slow the van

Meanwhile the band is waiting for the Road man

Who was crushed by his beloved sound system

Chorus
