Highways to hotel rooms Waiting by the phone You dream about a lover And a road to take you home Borderlines to nowhere Letters that you wrote It’s just another lonely town With faces you don’t know And I’ve been there and I’ve seen the road you traveled down I lost my friends before their time was running out But I’d rather burn than to rust away Rollin’ on down the gypsy road Packing in the mornings They load the bus at noon You live your life by the road And the road will take from you Show time in the evening Lovers by the night You lost your only queen In the folded hand you left behind And I’ve been there and I’ve seen the road you traveled down I lost my friends before their time was running out But I’d rather burn than to rust away Rollin’ on down the gypsy road
