But you couldn't stand the weather here You know I was your rain and thunder Up on your hills and valleys We could have been together But you couldn't stand the weather here You know the light is passing through it It's cause there's nothing really here You know it's just a mere conduit For all of your fears You think you're making choices But there's no one really here Just tone deaf angry voices that are breathing in your ear For the road, for the road For the road, for the road It's taking us back to a one-horse town Building us up just to tear us down So we can follow on You know we could have been together But you traded hell for leather A closer walk we'll see And we locked our homes forever We could have been together But you couldn't stand the weather here There's nothing without you There's nothing without you You think it's just an apparition That could not happen here Such an abomination Could be the man of the year You think you're making choices But there's nothing really here Just tone deaf angry voices that are breathing in your ear For the road, for the road For the road, for the road They say Rome was built in a day But it all came down in the month of May Oh, for the road You know we could have been together But you couldn't stand the weather here No hours of rain and thunder On your heels and valleys, dear You think you're making choices But there's no one really here Just tone deaf angry voices that are breathing in your ear For the road, for the road For the road, for the road For the road, for the road For the road He's taking us back to one horse town Givin' us up just for tappin' us down Well, we just hope you can stick around And you don't fall around Oh
