This Old Road

I just passed a Jimmie and a Mack and a white Cadillac

Counting' the hundreds of miles to home and sittin' back

Got some redskins in a bottle of Pepsi cold in my hand

My windshield is clear, steering through this rainy land


It's been a long old haul and I guess it always really is

Been a long time since I've had that good night kiss

This time though I've really put in some thought

Wondering' if I should give up this old road or not


God tell me and lay a hand on me

What's best and what should be

This old road it's talking to me

But it's your voice I know it to be


She'd be all for it, she's told me plenty of times

But all I've ever known is keeping it between the lines

It's too late to be a welder or a carpenter on a crew

Sure, I could quit this rig but then what would I do


God tell me and lay a hand on me

What's best and what should be

This old road it's talking to me

But it's your voice I know it to be


It's been a long old haul and I guess it always really is

Been a long time since I've had that good night kiss

This time though I've really put in some thought

Wondering if I should give up this old road or not


God tell me and lay a hand on me

What's best and what should be

This old road it's talking to me

But it's your voice I know it to be
