I Gotta Get Back on the Road Songtext
von Cold Chisel

There′s a long jet trail
West of the moon
Nothing for a thousand miles below
One pump roadhouse
Late afternoon
My time is over here
I gotta go
I gotta get back on the road
Finish up and pay
There's nothing here as good as the girl I know
A thousand miles away
I gotta get back on the road
Where I wanna be
I won′t see her till at the lip of my load
By the light of another day
Get back on the road
I gotta get back on the road
Outside the highway
Is parallel
To that stroke of chalk above


As far as I can tell
There are two reasons
That come to mind
That keep a good man on the road
There's always some complications
Left behind
Somewhere, one day
I'll find the other one
I gotta get back on the road
Finish up and pay
There′s nothing here as good as the girl I know
A thousand miles away
I gotta get back on the road
Where I wanna be
I won′t see her till at the lip of my load
By the light of another day
Get back on the road
I gotta get back on the road
Outside the highway waits
Another year
Fades and dissipates
High in the stratosphere
There's a long jet trail
West of the moon
Nothing for a thousand miles below
One pump roadhouse
Late afternoon
My time is over here
I gotta go, I gotta go
I gotta get back on the road
Finish up and pay
There′s nothing here as good as the girl I know
A thousand miles away
I gotta get back on the road
Where I wanna be
I won't see her till at the lip of my load
By the light of another day
Get back on the road
I gotta get back on the road
Get back on the road
