Lyrics

THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND,
SOUL ON EVERY BEND,
THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND.

I’VE BEEN TRAVELLING ON, TOO MANY ROADS THIS YEAR, SIXTEEN THOUSAND MILES, AND I’M LUCKY TO BE HERE. SEEN A LOT OF TRAGEDY, SHAKESPEARES FINAL FLING,
LIFE’S A GREAT BIG FEATHER BED, WE HURRY TO GET IN.

THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, SOUL ON EVERY BEND, THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, TAKING MORE THAN IT REQUIRES, EVERY NOW AND THEN IT SMILES.

IT OFFERS YOU A JUDGEMENT DAY,
A TICKET FOR THE SHOW,
THE UNFORGIVING ANGELS TRACK, FREEDOM KEEPS YOU COMING BACK. SEEN A LOT OF BROKEN BRANCHES, FLASHING LIGHTS ON CARS,
HEADS UPON ITS’ SHOULDERS,
LIKE MY ARM ON THIS GUITAR.

THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, SOUL ON EVERY BEND, THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, TAKING MORE THAN IT REQUIRES, EVERY NOW AND THEN IT SMILES.

ITS’ HEART IS DARK, MYSTERIOUS,
A POKER FACE IT SHOWS,
NEVER LETTING ON TO YOU, WHAT THE NEXT CARD HOLDS.
YOU’D THINK WITH ALL THIS FREEDOM, I’D BE GRINNING EAR TO EAR,
BUT NUMBERS FINALLY DO COME UP, MINE ARE GETTING NEAR.

THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, SOUL ON EVERY BEND, THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, TAKING MORE THAN IT REQUIRES, EVERY NOW AND THEN IT SMILES.
THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, SOUL ON EVERY BEND, THE ROAD IS NOT MY FRIEND, TAKING MORE THAN IT REQUIRES, EVERY NOW AND THEN IT SMILES, EVERY NOW AND THEN.
