RHYTHM OF THE ROAD
Written by Larry Goddard
Performed by the Larry Goddard and the Goatville Jam Band

Rhythm of the road,
Rhythm of the road.
Rhythm of the road takes me back home.
Rhythm of the road,
Rhythm of the road,
Rhythm of the road suits(?) me back home.
Hey!

The rhythm of the white lines passin' on the highway
Syncopated fence posts and the mileage signs
Remind me of your heartbeat pressed against my chest
And my heart beats faster, my heart beats faster.

Every little hometown, every single byway,
I dream of kissin' your sweet lips and pouring you some ... (?).
I get lost in your sweet arms, say I'll never leave you.
Mesmerized by your charms, I just can't wait to see you.

Race on down this country road, tryin' my best to lighten my load,
Wishin' I had never left, but that's just a fool's game.
Like the solo guitar ringin', my heart's racin', my heart's singin'
Oh, it won't be long until you're back I my arms again.

Like the solo guitar ringin', my heart's racin', my heart's singin'
Oh, it won't be long until you're back I my arms again.

Rhythm of the road,
Rhythm of the road,
Rhythm of the road.
