[Verse 1]
I get to travel
Chasin' somethin' I can't see
Is it fame or is it fortune or is somethin' chasin' me?
When I'm miles away
And when the hours feel like days
I start thinkin' of my home and why I go away
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why I go away
I got this dream that I can't shake
[Chorus]
It shines like silver
It's pure like gold
And it rings like church bells
For the Gospel of the Road
[Verse 2]
All my wasted time
When I had nothin' to believe
Every day a little more I learned what love means
Got me a workin' man
Nothin' fancy for me
A little house to call my own outside the city
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I can't sleep
There's this dream that's chasin' me
[Chorus]
It shines like silver
It's pure like gold
And it rings like church bells
For the Gospel of the Road
Sticks like honey
And it bites like cold
And I love you, baby
But still I have to go
Still I have to go
[Verse 3]
This is paradise
Here with everyone I love
I watch the children play in the yard beneath the setting sun
But I can't sleep again
A few more hours and I'm gone
So I listen to the cars as they roll down Highway 1
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I hear somethin'
[Chorus]
And it shines like silver
It's pure like gold
But it rings like church bells
For the Gospel of the Road
Sticks like honey
And it bites like cold
And I love you, baby
But still I have to go
Still I have to go
Still I have to go
