A Road Is Just A Road

Lyrics

He pulled out in a cloud of dust
 Laying rubber and spewing rust
 And on any road he'd take
 He'd have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake
 Underneath the smooth tar curves
 A road is only dust and dirt
 On a lonely interchange
 The signs all look the same
 'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
 No matter where you go, from Waterloo to Wichita
 A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
 And midnight's another dawn, 100 miles ago
 His wheels spun out of sight of me
 Believing that I'd set him free
 But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
 Saying he couldn't get enough of her
 You go by land, you go by air
 You go by sea, hell I don't care
 You can go any way you choose
 Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes
 And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
 No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield
 A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
 And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
 And every sleepless night I see him
 Screaming by the scenery
 Not noticing another mile
 That's rolled down between him and me
 'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
 No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone
 A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
 And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
 Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
 No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste.Marie
 A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
 And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
