The Road

I've been everywhere and back again Across the Colorado and the Cumberland All the highways that never end No they never end I've seen a city that never sleeps Neon lights expose the streets People everywhere, but no one speaks No they never speak But I never knew No I never knew that All my life Out on the road I was alone But when you held me tight And didn't let go I knew I was home I've dragged my boots on unbroken ground Felt the Gulf Coast water and the Puget Sound I was searching, but I needed to be found Needed to be found But I never knew No I never knew that All my life Out on the road I was alone But when you held me tight And didn't let go I knew I was home And on the day we met You lit my cigarette You said boy where you going I told you I'm headed west You came along And you've been there ever since You've been there ever since Yeah, all my life Out on the road I was alone But when you held me tight And didn't let go I knew I was home But I never knew No I never knew that All my life Out on the road I was alone But when you held me tight And didn't let go I knew I was home I knew then And I know now I am home
