Lifetime On the Road

For the first five seconds when I opened my eyes
And I felt the summer breeze and then I remembered why
I was in a strangers home
Car ready to go another hundred miles or so

Rolled down the window
Turned on the radio
As fast as we move forward
Time is moving slow
And it's hard to know what day it is
To know this will never feel like home

Left my name in a town I barely know
As I get further away
It fades to smoke and black and coal
So many places
Most I'll never call my own
A lifetime on the road

Pull into the driveway
Ready to start again
Greet the new faces
Strangers soon our friends
Sharing a moment in time
Foster family for one night

Left my name in a town I barely know
As I get further away
It fades to smoke and black and coal
So many places
Most I'll never call my own
A lifetime on the road

It's a like a one-night stand with a time and a place
And you know you gotta leave
Early the next day
And it's easy to hold on and hard letting go
Lifetime on the road

Sun is fading and the moon is waning
My breath clouds the window and I'm drawing on the glass
Shapes of my memories
And how the world has shaped me in the past

Left my name in a town I barely know
As I get further away
It fades to smoke and black and coal
So many places
Most I'll never call my own
A lifetime on the road

It's a like a one-night stand with a time and a place
And you know you gotta leave
Early the next day
And it's easy to hold on and hard letting go
Lifetime on the road

Oh it's easy to hold on and hard letting go
Lifetime on the road
