There's nothing I feel stronger than the need to travel on Never knowing where I'm going or how long I'll be gone There's no need making promises 'cause promises are something I can't keep These highways are old memories I've travelled many times and there's no destination on the road map in my mind And something's always calling me to a place I hope I'll find And this old road gets kind of lonesome and sometimes I get lonesome too I know it won't last forever Lonely is another state and I'm just passing through Back when I was younger I tried to settle down I had a good job in a factory and a house outside of town But I felt the need to be somewhere I'd never been before And if I don't see tomorrow I'm thankful for today And all the things I've ever seen while travelling on my way Every change of time and scenery and the friends I've met along the way And this old road gets kind of lonesome and sometimes I get lonesome too But I know it won't last forever Lonely is another state and I'm just passing through
