You deserve everything Everything that you need And all that you long for
But I, I'm rarely around Every train feels outbound I wish I could give you so much more
I must roam Follow the road I've chosen Leave our home The land is dark and frozen Night by night You're still in my mind Everything I must do Is your burden too
Still the road goes on and on We just have to play along Days are lonely, nights long In my line of work
This is how the story goes Highest highs and lowest lows Home is never too close In my line of work
Here the rules don't apply Another town passes by New faces, new strangers
And you could use someone new Someone better than me But I still hope you will be waiting
I must roam Follow the road I've chosen Leave our home The land is dark and frozen Night by night You're still in my mind Everything I must do Is your burden too
Still the road goes on and on We just have to play along Days are lonely, nights long In my line of work
This is how the story goes Highest highs and lowest lows Home is never too close
