On the edge of life itself
Nothing new had come around
The Shenandoah never looked so good
From up here on the ground

I've bin walking in Virginia
I've bin looking for the coast
I've bin waiting for the trains to come
But there not even close

And on the road, with all the flowers in my hair
I've bin waiting for so long
The cars like a murder of crows that was striped nearly
bare
In my old friend Jack I'm drowning
Up above the sky is frowning on the ground...
Virginia sound

Already far away from Broadway
Over Liberty Canal
Already the longest walk of life
And the skyline is fatal

Partly cryin', partly laughin'
In the crazy winter rain
Pealing shadows off the trees
Doubting sanity is sane

And on the road, with all the flowers...

So I start thinking of Baltimore
And wash away my pain
I try to hold on to her
But moonlights on this lane

North on 95
Away from all my dreams
I'm going back home
But home is only where it gleams

And on the road...

So hardly wide awake
I'm reaching for a grip
I know her hair won't hold me
But I will not let it rip

Now the stars that shine
From the window to the ground
I know I'm not coming back real soon
I will not come around

And on the road...] x2
