The fire, the wine, the bed and you In this crimson light I find the truth And the truth is like a punch or two It hits you hard it knocks you through So I get on the road and ride to you I get on the road and ride to you A kiss' like a fight that neither wins A tender payment for our sins You are the drug that I can't quit Your perfect chaos is perfect fit So I get on the road and ride to you I get on the road and ride to you From broken farm to broken farm The engine noise like an alarm It breathes a thunder in my soul Begins to rise through the dustbowl So I get on the road and ride to you I get on the road and ride to you The wheel, it settles in my hands This is the measure of a man I point the car at north, at you My route has scarred the country through So I get on the road and ride to you I get on the road and ride to you
