about

I've never been a long distance trucker, so telling the story this way makes it a little bit less autobiographical.

However, I've been a musician for a long time. I know what being away from loved ones way-too-many nights can feel like ... It can really take its toll on a person's home life, but there just aren't very many ways to avoid the problem without changing who you are.

So this song goes out to all the people who hold down the fort while we do our thing. Thanks for stickin' with us.

lyrics

==================================================

Rollin’ on down the road where I left you standing at our front door
Spirit broken, tryin’ like Hell to hang on just a few miles more
Feelin’ like the air is so heavy I can’t even take a breath
… and knowing, it was my decision to bring on this living death
On the road. All alone. try-ing to forget what I can’t ignore
On the Road On my own knowing I got actions to answer for
On the road.

It’s been 3 days now… since you told me… as I climbed in my Kenworth at dawn
You couldn’t take no more of being lonely… so when I get home… you’ll be gone
My mind was reeling as you said those words… thinkin’ life is not a victimless crime
‘cuz there’s only one job-I know how to do and it doesn’t offer part-time
(SOLO)
(CHORUS)

Pushing hard… Mile after mile… Town after town… All just a blur
Traffic heavy… thru my tears… hauling 20 thousand pounds of douglas fir
Feelin-like-I-ought’to-just shut my eyes let this iron devil end all my pain
The only thing to hold me back is knowing I would never see you again.
On the Road All alone… Trying to forget things I can’t ignore
“ “ On my Own. Knowing I got actions to answer for. . .
“ “ All alone… Spending every night behind a different door
On the Road All alone. I got to hear your voice… just 1 time more

Rollin’ on down the road where I left you standing at our front door
