He pulled out in a cloud of dust
  Layin' rubber and spewin' rust
  And on any road he'd take
  He'd have his foot on the pedal but my heart on the brake
  
  Underneath the smooth tar curves
  A road is only dust and dirt
  On a lonely interchange
  The signs all look the same
  
  'Cause a road is just a road and a feelin's just a feelin'
  No matter where you go
  From Bakersfield to San Antone
  A road is just a road when the one you love is leavin' on
  And midnight's another dawn a hundred miles ago
  
  He pulled out of sight of me
  Believin' that I'd set him free
  But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
  Sayin' he couldn't get enough of her
  
  You can go by land, you can go by air
  Go by sea, hell I don't care
  You can go anyway you choose
  Wearin' out the soles of your travelin' shoes
  
  'Cause a road is just a road and a feelin's just a feelin'
  No matter where you go
  From Bakersfield to San Antone
  A road is just a road when the one you love is leavin' on
  And midnight's another dawn a hundred miles ago
  (Bangor Maine to El Paso)
  
  And every sleepless night I see him screamin' by the scenery
  Not noticing another mile that's rolled on between him and me
  
  'Cause a road is just a road and a feelin's just a feelin'
  No matter where you go
  From Bakersfield to San Antone
  A road is just a road when the one you love is leavin' on
  And midnight's another dawn a hundred miles ago
  (Waterloo to San Bernardino)
  (Washington to Amarillo)
