1.I'd rather be home,
G D
But I make my livin' on the go
Big silver eagle spreads her wings
E A
And drops us at another show
D
I think about holdin' my baby tonight
G D
As I listen to the big wheels roll
Three days into a six-week tour,
G A D
Getting in the rhythm of the road
2.We pick and sing,
Say "goodnight" then we'll be flyin'
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 is just another beat,
livin' in the rhythm of the road
G
The rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own
If you find it it'll drive you insane
D
Like the clackity-clack of a railroad track
D7
I'm rattlin' like an old freight train
G
Towns are flashin' by, the folks are wavin' "hi"
They all start to look the same
E
Gotta stop for a minute, be glad I'm in it
A
Remember just why I came
(Instrumental)
3.Those highway signs, Lord, they keep me on the move
I think about givin' it up sometimes,
And gettin' in a diff'ren groove
But I just let the days slide by,
Get goin' with the flow
A four/four beat's the only time I keep,
livin' in the rhythm of the road
A four/four beat's the only time I keep,
livin' in the rhythm of the road
Livin' in the rhythm of the road
