(Verse 1) Well, the radiator’s hissing and the tire’s getting low I got a hundred miles of desert with nowhere left to go The radio is nothing but a ghost of static sound But as long as this old crate is moving, I ain’t staying bound (Chorus) It’s a long road, baby, and the wind is at your back Trying to keep the dirty wheels upon the narrow track We’re just brothers in the twilight, singing out of key Rolling down the highway toward the deep blue sea (Verse 2) Now Lefty’s in the backseat, he’s dreaming of the farm And Charlie’s got a lucky charm tattooed upon his arm Lucky’s checking maps that were printed back in ‘62 While the sun is sinking lower in a hazy shade of blue (Chorus) It’s a long road, baby, and the wind is at your back Trying to keep the dirty wheels upon the narrow track We’re just brothers in the twilight, singing out of key Rolling down the highway toward the deep blue sea (Bridge) (Sung in a soft, operatic growl) Oh, the shadows grow so tall When you’re waiting for the rain to fall But there’s a light in every window And a shadow on the wall... (Guitar Solo - Jangle-heavy and melodic) (Verse 3) So if you see us passing, give a whistle and a wave We’re just looking for a spirit that the world forgot to save It don’t matter where we’re going, or how we’re gonna get there As long as there’s a little bit of magic in the air (Outro) (All voices harmonizing) Handle me with care, boys... Just rolling down the line... Everything’ll be alright... In the nick of time...
