about

I wrote this song in 1992, and it's been a constant friend since then.

"I've been on the road so long..." it begins, and I'm still on the road today. Though it feels more like home and the road are one and the same each day.

lyrics

I've been on the road so long
This loneliness just can't go on
I've been up to where the grass is brown
I've been down
And every time I think of you
I know just what I'd like to do
I'd put on my walkin' shoes
And walk right out of this town

I said head out on the road
Set down my load
Stick out my thumb... and
Find out where I'm from

Well a man pulls up in eighteen wheels
He knows just how I feel
He's been up, to where the grass is brown
He's been down
And every night around six o'clock
He turns his dial to classic rock
And this is how it goes

Just head out on the road
Set down your load
Stick out your thumb... and
Find out where you're from

Well I'm climbing up that mountain-top
My feet are cold, but I can't stop
The sun from going down
Or the world from spinning 'round
Ten more miles I'm almost there
The road is dark but I don't care
I've finally made it home
I've almost made it home

Cause I've been out on the road
Set down my load
Stuck out my thumb... and
Found out where I'm from

Now I've gone home
