I Gotta Get Back on the Road Songtext
von Cold Chisel

There′s a lone jet-trail west of the moon
Nothing for a thousand miles below
A 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 a girl I know
A thousand miles away
I gotta get back on the road
To where I want to be
I won′t see her 'til I deliver 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 run
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 a girl I know
A thousand miles away
I gotta get back on the road
To where I want to be
I won't see her ′til I deliver 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 lone jet-trail west of the moon
Nothing for a thousand miles below
A 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 a girl I know
A thousand miles away
I gotta get back on the road
To where I want to be
I won't see her ′til I deliver 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)
