Ragged As The Road

This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel
 It's a faded blue line, this road I travel
 And it's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
 It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man's switch
 Chorus:
 And I'm a rollin' faster
 Than a locomotive
 Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
 Hotter than a smoking gun
 Ragged as the road I'm on
 Verse Two:
 This road I'm on has been cracked
 By the cold
 It's been scorched by the sun
 And searched by the soul
 And it's a working back breaking,
 It's a pick ax swinging
 It's steel wheels turning
 On steel rails singing

 Repeat Chorus

 Verse Three:
 ♪
 This road lies ahead like life on a brush
 It's a virgin canvas free from human touch
 And it's ours for the taking or the leaving behind
 It's a ghost of the past with the future to find
 Chorus:
 It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
 Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
 Hotter than a smoking gun
 Ragged as the road
 It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
 Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
 Hotter than a smoking gun
 Ragged as the road I'm on
