As long as the tires still cry on the highway As long as the dogs still die on the road As long as I wake up without knowing who I am I will always think of you as home Every time I hear you say "John why are you leaving?" Bless it, my confession is a woman called the road And like the other woman, the road she gets jealous She knows there'll come a time I won't see her anymore The road is my woman And she's never done me wrong And I'm true to her The road is my woman And she's here in this song And I'm true to her But not for long Rescue me sweet angel She stole me as a child To become a rider on her two-lane rodeo And then you came along Loving me for what I am I've been too long with a woman made of stone The road is my woman And she's never done me wrong And I'm true to her The road is my woman And she's here in this song And I'm true to her But not for long The road is my woman And she's never done me wrong And I'm true to her The road is my woman And she's here in this song And I'm true to her But not for long
