[Verse 1] That old mic rolls around in the trunk I drew enough to stay ahead Tonight the boss held back part of my pay I'm too worn out to raise a fuss anyway Bakersfield may know that sound But I'm a name they half forgot Tower lights blink across the plain Riley's still in Wichita, I'll bet Might be time I tracked him down [Chorus] I can make my town by morning Find a bed and sleep till four Every soundcheck drags like Sunday I'm ready when I hit the door When we reach that turn in the song I know your lips, …are moving right along [Verse 2] We used to roll in better shape Tulsa brought the house around Jackson liked it loud and late Nearly cooked my Marshall down There was a song inside that story Funny what can bring your best In Memphis, a guy didn't even know me Knew each line without a guess [Chorus] I can make my town by morning Find a bed and sleep till four Every soundcheck drags like Sunday I'm ready when I hit the door When we reach that turn in the song I know your lips, …are moving right along [Bridge] Little Rock, a hundred times Ten thousand songs, and more besides Only one ever turned out right Abilene on Highway 20 Took the weight clean off my mind For all this road has cost me That's where I still feel whole [Final Chorus] I can make my town by morning Find a bed and sleep till four Every soundcheck drags like Sunday I'm ready when I hit the door When we reach that turn in the song I think there's one more place to go One more town before heading home Guess I was born to roam [Outro] Seems I was born to roam One more road might lead me home Another song still calls me And the one that still haunts me
