Lyrics

[Chorus] On the road It gets so lonely, far away from from home Every night I cry myself to sleep I cry a river of tears And I lie in this bed and wish that you was here [Verse 1] 9 a.m There's a call on the phone My agent says "I know you're not alone Kick the girl out, son There's a car outside to take ya to the airport" 12 p.m I'm on the plane The stewardess smiles 'cause I remembered her name She asked "Where ya goin'?" And I told her "Honey, you should know that it's all the same" The suit on my left he gets all riled He says "You're lucky that you're life is wild" And I said "Hey, man, that's just what it's like being on the road" [Chorus] It gets so lonely, far away from from home Every night I cry myself to sleep I cry a river of tears And I lie in this bed and wish that you was here [Verse 2] 4 a.m I'm at the club Checking sound in a dingy pub Then it's back to the room Where I drink some wine And take a nap in the tub 12 a.m I hit the stage The place is packed and they're all a rage I finish up with a love song Standing in the middle of a ring of thongs The curtains close and I head backstage I say "Ya better not be underage" To the girl on my lap While everyone's taking their tops off Everyone's taking their tops off [Chorus] On the road It gets so lonely, far away from from home Every night I cry myself to sleep I cry a river of tears And I lie in this bed and wish that you was here [Verse 3] Naked girls throw themselves at you And you do things you never thought you'd do All the champagne that you can drink Man it stinks, I tell you, it sucks being on the road [Verse 4] 4 a.m There's a knock on the door And the after party's in the room next door Willie tells me that Hank drank all the beer But they're bringing more That's about when i heard the screams Was the girls from the pagan bikini team They're undressed to kill I hear they're rabid fans and they aim to please Johnny says that the party's wild I say "I'll be there in a while" As soon as I finish writing this stupid postcard Writing some girl this postcard [Chorus] On the road It gets so lonely, far away from from home Every night I cry myself to sleep I cry a river of tears And I lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie On the road
