He pulled out in a cloud of dust
Laying rubber and spewing rust
And on any road he'd take
Oh, he'd have his foot on the pedal, but my heart on the brake
Underneath 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 feeling's just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Bakersfield to San Antone
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
Midnight's another dawn, hundred miles ago
His wheels spun out of sight of me
Oh, believing that I'd set him free
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
Saying he couldn't get enough of her
You can go by land and you can go by air
You go by sea, hell I don't care
Wearing out the soles of your travelling shoes
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to El Paso
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
And every sleepless night I see him
Screaming by the scenery
Not noticing another mile
That's rolled down between him and me
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Waterloo to San Bernardino
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Washington to Amarillo
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
A hundred miles ago
