Dm
Night after night the same old thing
G
Drink and play and smoke and sing
Bb
The clubs are packed and ears will ring
F
On
C
the
Dm
road
Hop in the car the night is done And all go home but not everyone It's a hard life on the run On the road
FMaj7
A bed away will never be a home away from
E
home
FMaj7
And all the girls there at the door can never match my
E
own
FMaj7
When touring's done back home I'll come to be there at your
E
side
FMaj7
But on the road is Hell on Earth, I think that I have
E
died
The morning comes, so very soon The light floods in and fills the room Four hours sleep must be my doom On the road
Dm
Give me just a day to
Gm
gather up my
Dm
senses
Dm
Slave driv
Gm
er
C
give me a
Dm
break
Only just a day and I can go on It
Gm
seems that
Dm
day I
C
never get to
Dm
take
