Soldier of the road, I am hungry for peace
I am wandering alone, I am aimlessly free
Soldier of the road, you are just like me
Looking for a little love, looking for a little relief

Soldier of the road, we all march in one line
Sweat and mud on our clothes, while the drum beats the time
Soldier of the road, I am trying to break free
Looking for a little love, looking for a little relief

We keep the numbers moving
And all the top men grooving
Everything in place
We let it take its toll
Say, you know that's rock 'n' roll
And once you get a taste

They never let you out of the big wheel, turning
They ring you till you're dry
There is no love in here, there is no sky
They never let you out and the road gets longer
We hold each other tight
I need to touch the earth, I need the sky

We keep the numbers moving
And all the top men grooving
Everything in place
We let it take its toll
Say, you know that's rock 'n' roll
And once you get a taste

Soldier of the road, stepping out of the light
I have people to love, I have music to write
Soldier of the road, you are just like me
Looking for a little love, looking for a little relief

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
