Traveling round this country
and i'm sleeping on the floor
i got a ringing in my head
left over from the night before
another town, another show
kiss them goodbye then i gotta go
the road is calling
and i keep em waiting

its so hard
and thoug it seems
thats we're wasting our life on dreams
its so hard
and seems so strange
but we're never gonna
never gonna change

well i wake up at noon each day
and then i'm set to go
we got 250 miles between
here and our nexte show
every town just looks the same
and endless strip mall in chain
motel 6 will leave the light on for me

its so hard
and thoug it seems
thats we're wasting our life on dreams
its so hard
and seems so strange
but we're never gonna
never gonna change

my throat is sore from yelling
my guitar strings need a change
my intonations out of wreck
and i'm singing way out of range
and when the tours is over
and there's no more show to play
i hope someone will leave
the light on for me

its so hard
and thoug it seems
thats we're wasting our life on dreams
its so hard
and seems so strange
but we're never gonna
never gonna change
