Come on baby,
baby please,
come on baby,
cause I'm on my knees.
Turn on your light,
let it shine on me,
shine on your love light
Let it shine on me,
let shine, let it shine, let it shine.

In the lonely heart of darkness
I have stumbled and I have strayed
Always searchin' but never finding
A ray of sunlight to guide my way

I see the light
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light and it's burnin' bright
I see the light it's the light at the end that I run to
And the light, darlin' is you

And if you feel that you can't go on.
And your will's sinkin' low.
Just believe and you can't go wrong.
In the light you will find the road.
You will find the road.

But oh Lord we pay the price
With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice
Ah yeah you pay your fare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there

Takes about a week to get there
Maybe two if I stop to sleep it off
But I can't sleep
So I'm leaving
Yeah, I'm leaving

Keep on driving through the night
I find myself a slice of life
To show me that I'm heading the right way

And ah, ah
Guess you'll have to love me from afar, ah
It's okay, 'cause all I need's this car
Out on the road, out on the road
Out on the road, out on the road I go

She's on the road again, sure as you're born
Natural born eastman on the road again
She's on the road again, sure as you're born

Friend comes by, says he's looking for his hat
Wants to know where's your husband's at
Say I don't know, he's on the way to the pen
Come on pretty momma let's get on the road again

I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby,
'cause the road's my middle name

Well, it's hard enough to love someone
When they're right close to home
Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
To squeeze the sugar from the phone

I hear it callin', baby
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'cause the road's my middle name

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a ... Greyhound bus
Rollin' down Highway 41

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin' I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”

Now one of these days that highway song will lose its appeal to me
I'm gonna settle on down like a natural born man
I'm gonna live my life naturally (Free and easy)
Until that day the thunder's gonna roll
And I notice there's a sign of rain
So I grab my bags and I pack my clothes
And I'm back on the road again

Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah
Back on the road again

Maybe The Beach Boys
have got you now
With those waves
singing "Caroline No"
Rollin' down
that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time.

Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes
have come
With your chrome heart shining
in the sun
Long may you run.

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind
