The road is breaking my heart
And I can barely breathe
One of us here is bound to stay
And the other, bound to leave
The road is breaking my heart
So is on the move
How can it be so involuntary and always the thing that I choose?
Always the thing that I choose
The road is breaking my heart
And it's no wonder why
And I will let it kill me
Before I let it see me cry
The road is breaking my heart
With a vision of us remains
Somewhere further down the road we're rich, or changing tires in the rain
You have a child and you're bound to want more
I cannot provide
I can't be the man that you want
In a house where I don't reside
In a town where I don't reside
The road is breaking my heart
And it's no wonder why
But I will let it kill me
Before I let it see me cry
Before I let it see me cry
The road is breaking my heart
As I pass through the state line
The fields are bled of everything
It's so beautiful, stark, and unkind
I know roads change and things march along
And if we can't meet at its end
If thinking of you is the best I can do
Then I'll go there time and again
Yeah, I'll go there time and again
The road is breaking my heart
And it's no wonder why
But I will let it kill me
Before I let it see me cry
The road is breaking my heart
But isn't it breaking them all?
The travel must be worth the trip
Before we sputter, and stammer, and fall
Before we sputter, and stammer, and fall
La da da da da de day
