Ragged as the Road Songtext
von Reckless Kelly

This road I′m on is blacktop and gravel
It's a faded blue line, this road I travel
And it′s a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man′s switch

Chorus:
And I′m a rollin' faster
Than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I′m on


Verse Two:
This road I'm on has been cracked
By the cold
It′s been scorched by the sun
And searched by the soul
And it's a working back breaking,
It′s a pick ax swinging
It's steel wheels turning
On steel rails singing

Repeat Chorus

Verse Three:
This road lies ahead like life on a brush
It's a virgin canvas free from human touch
And it′s ours for the taking or the leaving behind
It′s a ghost of the past with the future to find

Chorus:
It's got me rollin′ faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road
It's got me rollin′ faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm on
