The Road by Levellers
The Road lyrics
Well, it's headlights and white lights and Black Tar Rivers
They?re dragging me around this country as it withers
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way
Tell of the state of nations, that we find today
We play and we play and we play
To every day, every day, every day
To every day
And in the front rooms in old towns far from the city
With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity
The people gather 'round they sing songs from everywhere
They?re torn from the nation but left without a care
And they play and they play and they play
To every day, every day, every day
To every day
And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
Well, we'll rid the bloody world
'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away
Well, out of warm night and clear sky, European town
Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd
With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
The exiled busker's are happy with their choice
And they play and they play and they play
To every day, every day, every day
To every day
And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
Well, we'll rid the bloody world
'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away
Well, we play and we play and we play
To every day, every day, every day
