The Flatlanders - Thank God For The Road lyrics

There's the sky, here's the earth This is the road for all it's worth It's a ribbon, it's a river, it's a wave It's an arrow and it's a snake It's asleep and it's awake And it stretches from the cradle to the grave Thank God for the road And the hubcaps and the headlights And the mudflaps and the taillights And the dim lights and the bright lights Thank God for the road And the miles that come between us The little rains that come to clean us The guardian angels who have seen us Thank God for the road No matter what it takes to drive it Life and d**h can seem so private Still you think you will survive it Thank God for the road There's the sky, here's the earth This is the road for all it's worth It's a ribbon, it's a river, it's a wave It's an arrow and it's a snake It's asleep and it's awake And it stretches from the cradle to the grave Thank God for the road The soft shoulders you can cry on The hard nerves you rely on The fast curves you can die on Thank God for the road And the stars that shine above it No matter what you once thought of it You always knew you'd come to love it Thank God for the road And those old telephone poles A cup of coffee and a sweet roll When you're trying to save your own soul Thank God for the road
