[Lyric] On The Road (Ben Haggard (SC))

When I was younger my folks didn't know
Just what I was trying to do
Play that guitar til my fingers bled
They said boy what's wrong with you

Told them I knew their life wasn't for me
Couldn't be chained to a desk all day
Gonna make it big in a rock and roll band
Dream of working for MCA

Well time flies when you're flying high
Until you hit the ground
Till then I'll keep on running
Just to hear that guitar sound

Well I wasn't there in sixty nine
But I heard some talk that it sure was fine
Got the blues didn't seem to care
Brothers' music was in the air

And I wasn't there in seventy two
But I heard the story and I know it's true
A simple man showed them how it's done
But Ronnie'd tell you he ain't the one
Well time flies when you're flying high
Until you hit the ground
Till then I'll keep on running
Just to hear that guitar sound

Now it's rich folks driving down easy street
In their long black limousines
Got my cheap sunglasses and my hair hanging down
You know they don't want to deal with me

Got just one thing to say to you
Getting down on life just watching the news
Spin that record kick off your shoes
Let the band sing away your blues

Well time flies when you're flying high
Until you hit the ground
Till then I'll keep on running
Just to hear that guitar sound
