It’s been a hard road

It’s been a hard road

Bad breaks and hard knocks

It’s been a long hard road

Runnin’ on empty

Runnin’ on fumes

Static on the radio

Can’t find no tunes

My eyes are burning

The sign posts are a blur

Moon hangin’ on the wires

Like a yellow balloon

Some chick in a Mustang

Lookin’ for some action

Another detour

Another roadside attraction

Some road-raged maniac

Jacked up on meth

Swears if he catches me

He’s gonna put me in traction

 It’s been a hard road

It’s been a hard road

Bad luck and wrong turns

It’s been a long hard road

Potholes and road kill

Bad coffee and bile

It all adds up

To make this road a trial

That wreck back there

On dead man’s curve

Had traffic backed up for miles and miles

Treads are running thin

Rods are knocking

That preacher on the radio

Just won’t stop talking

Looking for the signs

To find my way home

The highway stretches on

Like a joker mocking

It’s been a hard road

It’s been a hard road

Heartbreak and heartburn

It’s been a long hard road

It’s been a long hard road
