Rhythm of the Road Songtext
von George Strait

I′d rather be home
But I make my livin' on the go
Big silver eagle spreads her wings
And drops us at another show
I think about holdin′ my baby tonight
As I listin to the big wheels roll
Three days into a six week tour,
Gettin' in the rhythm of the road

We pick and sing
Say "goodnight" then we'll be flyin′
My world′s a chain of one-night-stands
Strung together by the center line
I don't know where I′ll wake up tomorrow
But I can't let the tempo slow
Every town is just another beat
Livin′ in the rhythm of the road


The rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own
If you find it it′ll drive you insane
Like the clackity-clack of a railroad track
I'm rattlin' like an old freight train
Towns are flashin′ by, the folks are wavin′ "hi"
They all start to look the same
Gotta stop for a minute, be glad I'm in it
Remember just why I came

Those highway signs
Lord, they keep me on the move
I think about givin′ it up sometimes
And gettin' in a diff′ren groove
But I just let the days slide by
Get goin' with the flow
A four-four beat′s the only time I keep
Livin' in the rhythm of the road

A four-four beat's the only time I keep
Livin′ in the rhythm of the road

Livin′ in the rhythm of the road
