A Road Is Just a Road

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Composed by: John Ewards Jennings/John Jennings/Mary Chapin Carpenter
He pulled out in a cloud of dust 
Laying rubber and spewing rust 
And on any road he'd take 
He'd have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake 
Underneath the smooth tar curves 
A road is only dust and dirt 
On a lonely interchange 
The signs all look the same

'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from Waterloo to Wichita 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, 100 miles ago

His wheels spun out of sight of me 
Believing that I'd set him free 
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner 
Saying he couldn't get enough of her 
You go by land, you go by air 
You go by sea, hell I don't care 
You can go any way you choose 
Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes

And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago

And every sleepless night I see him 
Screaming by the scenery 
Not noticing another mile 
That's rolled down between him and me

'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago

Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling 
No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste.Marie 
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on 
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
