The Road

I've been everywhere and back again
Across the Colorado and the Cumberland
All the highways that never end
No they never end

I've seen a city that never sleeps
Neon lights expose the streets
People everywhere, but no one speaks
No they never speak

But I never knew
No I never knew that
All my life
Out on the road
I was alone
But when you held me tight
And didn't let go
I knew I was home

I've dragged my boots on unbroken ground
Felt the Gulf Coast water and the Puget Sound
I was searching, but I needed to be found
Needed to be found

But I never knew
No I never knew that
All my life
Out on the road
I was alone
But when you held me tight
And didn't let go
I knew I was home

And on the day we met
You lit my cigarette
You said boy where you going
I told you I'm headed west
You came along
And you've been there ever since
You've been there ever since

Yeah, all my life
Out on the road
I was alone
But when you held me tight
And didn't let go
I knew I was home

But I never knew
No I never knew that
All my life
Out on the road
I was alone
But when you held me tight
And didn't let go
I knew I was home

I knew then
And I know now I am home
