Piece of the Road

I know somewhere they are drivin', lovin' women makin' money all the time
And ever since I was a little boy that's all I've ever had on the mind
I had always been a music man I loved anything that rolls
And all I want is a piece of the road.

Piece of the road, a part of that traffic that's passin' me by
Piece of the road, a piece of that great big pie in the sky
Want you to use me like you want to Lord but lemme carry a part of the load
'Cause all I want is a piece of the road.

Well, forgive me if I love it just a little too much but you see
I have always been a part of the road and the road is such a big part of me
Well, each man has his calling and mine is to rattle and roll
And all I want is a piece of the road.

Piece of the road, a part of that traffic that's passin' me by
Piece of the road, a piece of that great big pie in the sky
Want you to use me like you want to Lord but lemme carry a part of the load
'Cause all I want is a piece of the road.

Well, I ain't too good but I ain't too bad
Though I've been sorry for some things that I've done
I've got to have a piece of the road before I reach the end of my run
You know time ain't no friend to no man I've got to get a road on this show
'Cause all I want is a piece of the road.

Piece of the road, a part of that traffic that's passin' me by
Piece of the road, a piece of that great big pie in the sky
Want you to use me like you want to Lord but lemme carry a part of the load
'Cause all I want is a piece of the road.

(Now I wanna go to Dallas, Fort Worth, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago,
St. Louis, Olive Hill, Kentucky
All I travel around and see all of them people and pick and sing...)
