Actually, there are several different songs called RHYTHM OF THE ROAD. Here's one of them:


RHYTHM OF THE ROAD
Written by Dan McCoy
Performed by George Strait

I'd rather be home but I make my livin' on the go.
A Big silver eagle spreads her wings and drops us at another show.
I think about holdin' my baby tonight as I listen to the big wheels roll,
Three days into a six-week tour, gettin' in the rhythm of the road.

We pick and sing say "goodnight" then we'll be flyin'.
My world's a chain of one-night stands strung together by the center line.
I don't know where I'll wake up tomorrow but I can't let the tempo slow.
Ever' town is just another beat, livin' in the rhythm of the road.

The rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own. If you fight it, it'll drive you insane.
Like the clickity-clack of a railroad track, I'm rattlin' like an old freight train.
Towns are flashin' by. The folks are wavin' "Hi." They all start to look the same.
Gotta stop for a minute, be glad I'm in it, remember just why I came.

Those highway signs, Lord, they keep me on the move.
I think about givin' it up sometimes and gettin' in a diff'rent groove.
But I just let the days slide by, get goin' with the flow.
A four-four beat's the only time I keep, livin' in the rhythm of the road.
A four-four beat's the only time I keep, livin' in the rhythm of the road,
Yeah, livin' in the rhythm of the road.
