It's time to go, I'm taking flight From now on I travel light I want to break and be remade I want the truth that I try to evade Go east or west, up or down Two ways to live You swim or you drown So keep your fists up Or get knocked out Won't know you're hit 'Till you hear the ten count Cause the road is a boxer Swinging his right A heavyweight champion That I'm gonna fight Toe to toe, eye to eye I'm gonna grapple With the muscle of life So give me the road Give me the road I want to sing in a country bar And get laid under a clear sky of stars No turning back, keep straight ahead I'll light my patch with a cigarette Cause the road is a matchstick That I'm gonna strike And hold it up burning Into the night I need adventure, I need a spark I'm now wasting my life in the dark So give me the road Give me the road
