Ragged As The Road

This road I'm on it's blacktop and gravel
It's a faded blue line this road I travel
It's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
It's a brakeman sleepin' on a dead man's switchAnd I'm a rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm onThis road I'm on has been cracked by the cold
It's been scorched by the sun and searched by the soul
And it's a working back breakin', it's a pickaxes swingin'
It's steel wheels turnin' on steel rails singin'And I'm a rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm onThis road lies ahead like life on a brush
It's a virgin canvas free from human touch
And it's ours for the taking or the leaving behind
It's a ghost of the past with a future to findIt's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the roadIt's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm on
