[Verse 1]
I'd rather be home but I make my living on the go
Big silver eagle spreads her wings and drops us at another show
I think about holding my baby tonight as I listen to the big wheels roll
Three days into a six week tour, getting in the rhythm of the road

[Verse 2]
We pick and sing, say good night then we'll be flying
My world's a chain of one-night-stands strung together by the center line
I don't know where I'll wake up tomorrow but I can't let the tempo slow
Every town's just another beat, living in the rhythm of the road

[Bridge]
The rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own, if you fight it it'll drive you insane
Like the clackity-clack of a railroad track I'm rattling like an old freight train
Towns are flashing by, the folks are waving hi, they all start to look the same
Got to stop for a minute, be glad I'm in it, remember just why I came

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Those highway signs, Lord, they keep me on the move
I think about giving it up sometimes and getting in a different groove
But I just let the days slide by, get going with the flow
A four/four beat is the only time I keep living in the rhythm of the road
A four/four beat is the only time I keep living in the rhythm of the road, yeah
[Outro]
Living in the rhythm of the road
