Picture this baby if you wanna know What it's like to be a travelin' Rock-N-Roll Show It'a a little bit fiction but fact when you see So if you got the balls come inside with me To the life I can live without To the life where it's one big freak show Round and round upside down Keep the wheels rollin' Through the dead of the night 500 miles 'til broad daylight Ya party 'til 6 ya sleep 'til it's 5 Then you're playin for the people To keep the dream alive In my soul a true infection In my soul a constant erection Of the body and the mind Yeah that's the life my friend When you're on the road again New York to Japan on the road again All across the land Got the tour bus, hotels, and the limousines Got my face plastered on every magazine Got the managers, lawyers, and the record execs Pullin' me in and out but it sure ain't like s** And my mama's always naggin' about The MTV Son why ain't you #1? You're only #3 But it's all packed up and the day is done I know I live this life 'cause I live for fun Yeah when you're on the road again New York to Japan on the road again All across the land on the road again L.A. to Londontown on the road again Tearin' the houses down "Who shall say that the American Dream is ended" Adlai Stevenson
