lyrics

I Wish I were on the road
All I need is my tissue in my pocket,
And my guitar

If I don't belong here
Show me a sign
And I'll wake up in the night

And I'll wish I were on the road


This is the hour
When words are pure,
Situations too

I've gotta feel one now
That's pushing through

And I wish I were

Click-clacking around,
Hunkering down
For a cool night

With my guitar
And stars
Out in some unnamed light,

And I wish I were on the road


Mm, I don't want to be a good one,
I don't come when I'm called
Unless I said I would
But you wouldn't want to try to be a good one
You might lose it all for good


Night slips off
Leaving in the dawn

Merging into traffic I've never been
So glad to get on
In this tired world

I could really sleep
And dream something that I
Could really keep

Anytime at all
Anywhere I go

And I wish I were on the road


Mm, I'm not trying to hurt no one
Unless that's just how it's gotta be
Then I guess I would
But you wouldn't want to try to linger behind
You might be hungry too


Dreams aren't always strong
There's something in the air
That triggers them coming on

A little change between seasons
And I can't sit on them too long

I've got to go away

In to my canvas I'm bleeding
And I
I'm flying down that road
My love's still strong

And I'm leaving
