I spent my whole life on the open road
That blacktop Texas highways all I know
Monday morning either rain or shine came early every week
Bills to pay many more deadlines to meet
Tried to fight the urge not to run away
Leaving all my problems left unpaid
But a good man does what he should do and take things face to face
So I guess I’ll have to fight that lonely highway for another week

Chorus
So I’m moving on
Cause I got dreams that I won’t let die
No road is left forgotten as I drive into the night
Try so hard to carry on the words that my daddy preached
But I guess I’ll half to fight that lonely highway for another week

Late night rodeo is my best friend
Talking of the places that I’ve never been
But I promise that I will see the world that I heard so much about
Wondering if over that next hill could be my way out

So I’m moving on
Cause I got dreams that I won’t let die
No road is left forgotten as I drive into the night
Try so hard to carry on the words that my daddy preached
But I guess I’ll half to fight that lonely highway for another week

I tried to find a place I could settle down
That blacktop Texas highway can’t be found
But about the time I get there and my suitcase is unpacked
These rolling wheels keep calling me back

So I’m moving on
Cause I got dreams that I won’t let die
No road is left forgotten as I drive into the night
Try so hard to carry on the words that my daddy preached
But I guess I’ll half to fight that lonely highway for another week
