I Gotta Get Back On The Road - Cold Chisel

There’s a lone jet-trail west of the moon

Nothing for a thousand miles below

A one-pump roadhouse, late afternoon

My time is over here, I gotta go

I gotta get back on the road

Finish up and pay

There’s nothing here as good as a girl I know

A thousand miles away

I gotta get back on the road

To where I want to be

I won’t see her till I deliver my load

By the light of another day

Outside the highway is parallel

To that stroke of chalk above

As far as I can tell

There are two reasons come to mind

Keep a good man on the run

There’s always some complication left behind

Somewhere, one day, I’ll find the other one

I gotta get back on the road…

Outside the highway waits, another year

Fades and dissipates high in the stratosphere

There’s a lone jet-trail west of the moon

Nothing for a thousand miles below

A one-pump roadhouse, late afternoon

My time is over here, I gotta go

I gotta get back on the road
