I got money in my pocket and a guitar in my hand
These lonely nights without you are more than I can stand
I work like a puppet
But its time to cut the strings
Well I hit the ground running
And I wont be looking back
Ill be like a locomotive headed down a one way track
It wont take too long just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
North, south, east or west
Been everywhere it seems
Uptown rooms and honky tonks dont feel like home to me
Ill be stepping out the rhythm while Im singing a new song
And its knowing where Im going that will keep me moving on
Turn my collar to the wind and put my thumb up in the air
Flag a diesal down or catch a bus from anywhere
Colorado, california, or even kalamazoo
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Well I hit the ground running
And I wont be looking back
Ill be like a locomotive headed down a one way track
It wont take too long just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Alright
