Mother Road Songtext
von R.I.P.

This stillness makes me sick
The quiet makes me scream
Too restless for the night
I′m too mad to dream

Somewhere lights are shining
The wind is blowing and the sun is rising
Can't feel my teeth are grinding
I feel the end of doom behind me

Need speed, I need white lines
Sittin′ down is doing time
I've got no ties that bind
No stop sign in my mind

Don't stand too close, I′m already gone
My body might be here, but my mind has traveled on
Don′t stand too close, I'm already gone
Mother road is calling me home


Along this lonely road, my way becomes uncertain
What have I left behind? How can I bear this burden?
If I can′t, my friends will find me
That thing that's always behind me
Sweat drips, heart pounds
I′m in the wind or in the ground

Need speed, I need white lines
Sittin' down is doing time
I′ve got no ties that bind
No stop sign in my mind

Don't stand too close, I'm already gone
My body might be here, but my mind has traveled on
Don′t stand too close, I′m already gone
Mother road is calling me home

Don't understand just what I′m doing
Hands on the clock is all that's moving
My blood is hot, my engine′s cold
Gotta get back on mother road

Nothing sweet, nothing sweet can harm us
Shed your tears for me now if you must
As it is, only the road can scratch
Only the road can scratch


Iron in the wind will never rust
Hearts born free can never trust
Never slow down, never looking back
I'm never looking back

Don′t stand too close, I'm already gone
Mother road is calling me home
