ON
THE ROAD
©
Lyrics: Robin Whitehead, Music: Anders Sterner
On
a cold dark night in the old boom docks
You make your bed in a cardboard box
The city lights fade into one
You have no dream,
You have no dream when the day is done
A new day dawns and the sun comes up
You’re begging for money with a paper cup
A cardboard sign saying “Please be kind”
If you only knew,
If you only knew what I left behind
Keep
your head up, don’t look back
Just follow the line of the railroad
track
You gotta keep on moving bear your load
This is life,
This is life on the road
A
different street in every town
But the same old story the same shakedown
Sorry son no work today
How many times,
How many times you been turned away?
Some
day soon I’ll set up home
These feet of mine will never roam
My wandering shoes I’ll leave behind
I’ll finally get
I’ll finally get some peace of mind
Keep
your head up, don’t look back
Just follow the line of the railroad
track
You gotta keep on moving bear your load
This is life,
This is life,
This is life on the road
