You never really know where you're going Even when you say that you do Some days you're on a full tank Sometimes you're running on fumes Heartbreak, mistakes, leave you sitting there on the shoulder That rear view's got you saying that it's over All you dead-end boys All you break down girls Thinking you're all out of pavement Like it's the end of the world All you burn out believers All you spinning your wheels Like a get-nowhere wing and a prayer I know just how you feel But it's the stars that make the night It's the low that makes the high It's the song that makes you cry It's the road that makes the ride That makes the ride That hand out the window feeling Feeling like you're flying away That earth there on the horizon Blue sky, sunshine on your face Might be hard to see it through the tears But you still got a lot of good in your good years All you dead-end boys All you break down girls Thinking you're all out of pavement Like it's the end of the world All you burn out believers All you spinning your wheels Like a get-nowhere wing and a prayer I know just how you feel But it's the stars that make the night It's the low that makes the high It's the song that makes you cry It's the road that makes the ride It's the road that makes the ride All you dead-end boys All you break down girls Thinking you're all out of pavement Like it's the end of the world All you burn out believers All you spinning your wheels Like a get-nowhere wing and a prayer I know just how you feel But it's the stars that make the night It's the low that makes the high It's the love that makes the life It's the road that makes the ride The road that makes the ride It's the road that makes the ride Oh, it makes the ride
