Picture this baby
If you wanna know
What it's like
To be a travelin'
Rock 'n' roll show
It's a little bit fiction but fact
When you see
So if you got the balls
Come inside with me
To the life
I can't live without, oh, no
To the life
Where it's one big freak show
'Round and 'round
Upside down
(Yeah)
Keep the wheels rollin'
Through the dead of the night
Five hundred miles
'Til broad daylight
Party 'til six
Ya, sleepin' 'til it's five
Then you're playin' for the people
To keep the dream alive
In my soul
A true infection
Oh, listen
In my soul
A constant erection
Of the body
And the mind
Yeah, that's the life, my friend
When you're on the road again
New York to Japan
(Oh, yeah)
On the road again
All across the land
I got the hotel, the tour bus and the limousines
Got my face plastered on every magazine
Got my managers and my lawyers
And the record execs
Pullin' me in and out
But it sure ain't like sex
And my mama's always naggin' about the MTV
She said: Son, why ain't you number one?
You're only number three
But when it's all packed up
And the day is done
I know I live this life
'Cause I live for fun
Yeah, when you're on the road again
New York to Japan
(Oh, yeah)
On the road again
All across the land (yeah)
On the road again
LA to London town
(On the road again)
On the road again
All across the land
We be tearin' your house down this time, baby
(On the road again)
Oh, yeah, alright that's cool
I'm saying Hollywood, baby
Swimming pool, movie stars
I'm going back
On the road again
Say it
