The Road Songtext
von Jim Morris

In Cameron, Montana at the Blue Moon Saloon
High on a on a bar stool and singing my tunes
To six tired cowboys, a girl named Cheyenne
Two dogs and a skunk-drunk old man

Then I drove on to Whitehall where I played my guitar
To a crowd of drunk miners in an old cowboy bar
As I packed up to leave, I happened to see
That photo that you sent to me

And you know that you′re driving me wild tonight
As I sit here alone in the warm fireside light
You warned me the road would be lonely as hell
I've learned that lesson so well

A stom hit the pass, I was nearly snowbound
A misty-eyed stranger to this frozen ground
I can picture you sailing in a warm ocean breeze
In Bozeman it′s sixteen dedgrees


And you know that you're driving me wild tonight
As I sit here alone in the warm fireside light
You warned me the road would be lonely as hell
I've learned that lesson so well

Well, I′m seldom alone, but I′m seldom with friends
Sometimes I say no, but sometimes I give in
I don't stay in touch quite as much as I should
But I sure miss you more than I thought that I would

And you know that you′re driving me wild tonight
As I sit here alone in the warm fireside light
You warned me the road would be lonely as hell
I've learned that lesson so well

I drink the free whiskey, and I chase it with beer
I′ve had pretty women with snow on their hair
But the longer I'm gone, the stronger I find
You walking around in my mind

And you know that you′re driving me wild tonight
As I sit here alone in the warm fireside light
You warned me the road would be lonely as hell
I've learned that lesson so well

Yeah, you warned me the road would be lonely as hell
I've learned that lesson so well
