[Verse 1]
There are ghosts in the street
And the window is open
There's the sound of a catfight in the rain
And the smell of the earth
Where the storm is broken
And the howl of a southbound train

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the water's sewing sequins on the glass
I'm not here to answer so don't even ask

[Chorus]
'Cause the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on

[Verse 2]
Will you take me out
Oh, to where the sky is full
Of music from the traffic of the town
I've got a head for drinking
And I've got money in my pocket
And I wanna try and turn this night around

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the poundstore Romeos all want a fight
And their breath is thick with Jagerbombs and appetite
[Chorus]
But the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on

[Verse 3]
So I'll turn off the radio
And I'll turn out the light
Let the darkness wrap its arms around my waist
There's a full moon out there somewhere
And it's sailing on the ocean
Lighting up another stranger's face

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And somewhere there's a song I haven't heard
And somewhere there are crosshairs on a mockingbird

[Chorus]
But the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on
