Lyrics

The wind it’s beginning to howl
And the engine releasin’ a growl
In the back is an old heavy load
Rollin’ on to the sound of the road

My friends they’re all scattered around
Guess they couldn’t find work in this town
Now they’re pictures and words on a screen
With oceans that lie in between

Well I used to wake up and look at the sky
To see if it shone or it snowed
Now I don’t much care ‘bout the weather or why
It’s just me and the sound of the road

My boss he’ll be wearing a smile
As I’m pilin’ on mile after mile
And he’ll take all I’m willing to give
Leaving me with barely just enough to live

My girl I don’t know where she is
I got caught ’tween the road and her kiss
Like dancin’ and havin’ a ball
Till you find out you can’t have it all

Well I used to wake up and look at the sky
To see if it shone or it snowed
Now I don’t much care ‘bout the weather or why
It’s just me and the sound of the road

Now the wind that was howling has died
And I’m still all alone in this ride
And I’ve even forgotten my load
It’s just me and the sound of the road
Just me and the sound fo the road
