The Road lyrics

Artist  : Levellers 
Song : The Road
 








  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  








Well its headlights, and white lights, and Black
Tar Rivers
They’re dragging me around
this country as it withers
The billboards,
signposts, standing in the way
Tell of the
state of the nations, that we find
today

And we play and we play and we
play
To every day, every day
To every
day

And in the front rooms of old towns
far from the city
With beaten up guitars and
hearts full of pity
The people gather round
singing songs from everywhere
They’re
torn from the nation, left without a
care

CHORUS

And we'll rid the
bloody world for a moment in a word
And we'll
rid the bloody world cos
The words that you
heard when you were young will always stay
The
one's that always stay make the world go
away

Warm night, clear sky, European
town
Outside the bars singing their hearts out
to a crowd
With open boots, violin, banjo and a
voice
The exiled buskers are happy with their
choice

CHORUS
