Ragged as the Road Songtext

von Reckless Kelly

This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel
It's a faded blue line, this road I travel
And it's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man's switch

[Chorus]
And I'm a rollin' faster
Than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm on

[Verse: Two]
This road I'm on has been cracked
By the cold
It's been scorched by the sun
And searched by the soul
And it's a working back breaking,
It's a pick ax swinging
It's steel wheels turning
On steel rails singing

Repeat Chorus

[Verse: Three]
This road lies ahead like life on a brush
It's a virgin canvas free from human touch
And it's ours for the taking or the leaving behind
It's a ghost of the past with the future to find

[Chorus]
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies,
Hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm on
