A road is just a road

A road is just a road Lyrics

Written by Mary Chapin CarpenterHe pulled out in a cloud of dust Layin' rubber and spewin' rust And on any road he'd take Boy he'd have his foot on the pedal but my heart on the brakeUnderneath 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 feelin's just a feelin' No matter where you go From Bakersfield to San Antone A road is just a road when the one you love is leavin' on Midnight's another dawn a hundred miles agoHis wheels spun out of sight of me Oh believin' that I'd set him free But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner Sayin' he couldn't get enough of herYou can go by land and you can go by air Go by sea hell I don't care Go anyway you choose Wearin' out the soles of your travelin' shoes'Cause a road is just a road and a feelin's just a feelin' No matter where you go From Bangor Maine to El Paso A road is just a road when the one you love is leavin' on Midnight's another dawn a hundred miles agoAnd every sleepless night I see him screamin' by the scenery Not noticin' another mile that's rolled on between him and me Oh him and me'Cause a road is just a road and a feelin's just a feelin' No matter where you go From Waterloo to San Bernardino A road is just a road when the one you love is leavin' on Midnight's another dawn a hundred miles ago'Cause a road is just a road and a feelin's just a feelin' No matter where you go From Washington to Amarillo A road is just a road when the one you love is leavin' on Midnight's another dawn a hundred miles ago A hundred miles ago
