Counting the lines on the highway rolling by one by one
Flying through the midnight rain like a bullet from a gun
I lay down but I can’t sleep ‘cause I still feel the band
Still on a high from the crowd and the lights
With a cold one in my hand, singin’
Here I go… down this road
Another town another stage
I wouldn’t have it any other way
All I want… is to sing my songs
Hearing that crowd keeps me going
Guitars rocking, wheels rolling
I step up the lights go down, I hear that first chord ring
It’s where I go to lose myself forget about everything
It’s my home away from home, hangin’ with my friends
It’s a crazy life but every night I get to do it again and again and again
Here I go… down this road
Another town another stage
I wouldn’t have it any other way
All I want… is to sing my songs
Hearing that crowd keeps me going
Guitars rocking, wheels rolling
Here I go… down this road
Another town another stage
I wouldn’t have it any other way
All I want… is to sing my songs
Hearing that crowd keeps me going
Guitars rocking, wheels rolling
Here I go
On down this road
Yeah, and don’t you know
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Yeah, yeah
And don’t you know
I wouldn’t have it any other way
