That man in the mirror starin' back at me ain't the man I used to see I been walkin' the line a long time I need a change Breakin' my back workin' double shifts the weight of the world's gettin' hard to lift I'm startin' to think I need to break a link in this chain Somethin's got to give this ain't no way to live chorus Put me on a highway the interstate a dirt road to anyplace as long as I'm long gone chasin' down some blue skies in my old truck Tune the world out Turn the radio up Sing along to my freedom song Well I got a good woman and she understands every now and then her old man needs some down time to clear his mind and unplug This time tomorrow you won't see my face there'll be one less rat runnin' in this race I'll be soothin' my soul with a fishin' pole that's what I love chorus
