Life on the Road - Lyrics - Wayne Hancock

Hancock began writing songs at the age of 12, and at 18 won a talent contest called the "Wrangler County Showdown." Immediately after the contest, he was shipped to recruit training and served four years with the United States Marine Corps. In 1994 he performed in the musical Chippy. Hancock released his debut album in 1995, and has continued to tour and record albums since then. He lives in Austin, Texas.

I'm gonna top off my tank Get loaded with provision I'm leavin' town right now Goin' on another mission Gonna drive straight through four states And do a three hour show Man it sure beats diggin' ditches Livin' life on the road Ain't gotta pay no rent Or worry about no deals Can drift up in a dream To the rumble of the wheels Never have to worry now How I get my meals (uhn-ah, baby) Every bit I own Livin' life on the road Well there's I-10 west, I-40 east, Thirty-five to Minnesota Fifty-nine to New Orleans A gal down in Louisiana Really know how to swing Lord I never get down low Livin' life on the road All right man, let's go! [Interlude] Well there's I-10 west, I-40 east, Thirty-five to Minnesota Fifty-nine to New Orleans A gal down in Louisiana Really know how to swing Lord I never get down low Livin' life on the road Yeah, it's the only way to go
