I'm a roadmaster baby and I spent my life on the road

I'm a travelin' musician and I'm carryin' a pretty big load

I've spend my days drivin' down the highway

When the show is over I gotta do it my way

So look out honey 'cause a roadmaster's on the road

I met a pretty woman down in Nashville, Tennessee

She said she'd blew the harp if I could blow a number and see

The evenin' was nice, I knew her pretty well

She said she'd like to stick around and talk for a spell

But tomorrow I'll be wakin' and a roadmaster's got to move on

One evenin' at a truck stop when I was on the way to a gig somewhere

Some slick-back truck drivers started givin' me some shit about my long hair

I just smiled, I told them they were right

And I snuck out the door like a thief in the night

Got the four wheels a-turnin', got the roadmaster back on the road

I'm a fool for the highway, I never thought of settlin' down

I like to play my music when there's lots of pretty women around

Never noticed any difference between a woman and a lady

I love 'em all from sixteen to eighty

When the moon is shinin' and the roadmaster's on the road

I'm a roadmaster baby and I spent my life in the road

I'm a travelin' guitar picker and I feel I got a big load

I've spend my days driving down the highway

When the show is over I gotta do it my way

So look out honey 'cause a roadmaster's on the road
