"The Highway Home" lyrics

"The Highway Home"

Well, too much time on the highway
Too many nights in a row
Wasn't for the crowds and this old guitar
Sure be a hard way to go
Then one night, or is it just one day?
The load gets lighter when it's time to play
You can't hold back what you feel inside
When the people start screamin' for one more round

No, life on the road ain't easy
And these dreams, they don't come cheap
But I can't help thinkin' that it's worth the price
If it just keeps me off the street
When I'm gone a little longer than I need to be
Thank God I got somebody waitin' on me
Well, come time to find a little place to breathe
I take a little break down in Tennessee

Yeah, home is where the heart is
Honey, my heart is true
But livin' in me is a melody
And that comes from lovin' you
Well, in every little town that I pass through
People are dancin' and singin' the blues
You gotta get up if you wanna get down
Now the boys gonna take you for one more round
Get down
