Any Ole Stretch Of Blacktop

I got money in my pocket and a guitar in my hand
Those lonely nights without you hon, is more than I can stand
I work like a puppet but it’s time to cut the string
I hit the ground runnin' and I won’t be lookin' back
I’ll be like a locomotive headed down a one-way track
It won’t take too long, just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any ole stretch of blacktop will do
North, south, east or west, I’ve been everywhere it seems
Hotel rooms and honky-tonks don’t feel like home to me
I’ll be steppin' out the rhythm while I’m singin' a new song
Knowin' where I’m goin', it keeps me movin' on
I’ll turn up my collar to the wind
And put my thumb up in the air
Flag a diesel down and catch a bus from anywhere
Colorado, California, even Kalamazoo
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any ole stretch of blacktop will do
I hit the ground runnin' and I won’t be lookin' back
I’ll be like a locomotive headed down a one-way track
It won’t take too long, just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any ole stretch of blacktop will do
North, south, east or west
Been everywhere it seems
Hotel rooms and honky-tonks
Don’t feel like home to me
I’ll be steppin' out the rhythm
While I’m singin' a new song
'Cause right around the corner will be the lights of our home
