His wheels spun out of sight of me Believing that I'd set him free But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner Saying he couldn't get enough of her You go by land, you go by air You go by sea, hell I don't care You can go any way you choose Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago [Guitar solo: same chords as chorus.]

^F And every ^Fsleepless ^Cnight I ^Csee him ^GScreaming b^Gy the ^Cscenery^C ^C ^C Not ^Fnotic^Fing an^Cother m^Cile That's ^Grolled d^Gown between ^Chim and m^Ce ^C ^C ^D ^D ^D ^D

'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste. Marie A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
