Lyrics
Ragged As The Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel
It's a faded blue line, this road I travel
And it's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man's switch
Chorus:
And I'm a rollin' faster
than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm on
Verse Two:
This road I'm on has been cracked
by the cold
It's been scorched by the sun
and searched by the soul
And it's a working back breaking,
it's a pick ax swinging
It's steel wheels turning
on steel rails singing
Repeat Chorus
Verse Three:
This road lies ahead like life on a brush
It's a virgin canvas free from human touch
And it's ours for the taking or the leaving behind
It's a ghost of the past with the future to find
Chorus:
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm on
