I was born on a bus, they say going south
Lived at a truck stop I never knew
My mother ever since the highway's been my home
Two-lane block top, a super highway
Drive 'em all night and I drive 'em all day
Sometimes it seems like I'm going nowhere
Like a restless wind I keep moving on
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
I'm a road man, (HA!) I'm a road man Now
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah, come on
Well, after a while, it all looks the same
Same old town with a different name
(HA), that's why I keep moving on
Now if I have a dollar every mile I drove
You know I would be rich beyond words
Money ain't the only thing I'd want
Like a restless wind I keep moving on
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
I'm a road man, (HA!) I'm a road man Now
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah,
Think of me when you hear the wind blow
I stick around but not too long
Hey yea, my middle name is, 'Gone'
I'm long gone, I'm a road man, Ha!
(Instrumental - Lead guitar licks)
I was born on a bus, they say going south
Lived at a truck stop I never knew
My mother ever since the highway's been my home
Restless wind keeps me moving on
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
I'm a road man, I'm a road man
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah, come on
Shake me down loose, I'm a road man, Lord
Take me on a groove, I'm a road man, Lord
Shake me down loose, I'm a road man
Yeah, yeah, yeah
