the dream of the rolling road

I’ll dream of the rolling road, my love.
Hold me tight tonight.
I’ll be gone when morning comes.
I can’t help it.
It’s in my blood.

A need in flooding veins.
To go all the places I’ve never been.

Honey, there’s still so much world to see.
I’d love it if you’d come with me.

But I think I see the horizon in your eyes.
And it’s cool if you stay home.
I just don’t know if I’ll be back this way.
If ever again.

Sweetheart, it’s been fun.
But there’s a few mile markers with my name on them.
And I’ve got to get rolling on.

I’ve got the road in my blood.
Asphalt in my skin.
Adventure in my heart.
And I’ve got to be going on.

Tears in my beers for you darling.
I swear it.
I just can’t stay.
Wasn’t made that way.

Maybe we will have another momentary forever someday.
Fortunes sometimes stray.
Settling is just too safe.

I don’t have a weak heart.
I can be alone in the dark.
Though it was nice to feel your pulse.
Hammer for me.

Lust is a luxury in which I indulge.
And love is just something I can’t afford.
Costs too much of me I’m afraid.

It’s getting late.
I can’t stay.
And I’ve got to be going on.

I’ll dream of the rolling road, my love.
Hold me tight tonight.
I’ll be gone when morning comes.
I can’t help it.
It’s in my blood.
I’ve got to be rolling on.
