Rhythm of the Road - The Choir

We were riding the highway

Like a band of rabid dogs

Out of New Orleans into midnight fog

I was driving so hard

Against the violent rain

Disregarding any hurricane

With eyes wide open

I could barely see

When we felt the impact

Of storm debris

And the oil did flow

Like a river at 3 a.

m

On the entry drive of a Holiday Inn

It’s the rhythm of the road

It’s the beat we’ve come to know

The warring and the revelry

The glory and the travesty

Of the road

It’s the beat we’ve come to know

It only cost us

One night’s pay

And it only lost us half the next day

And we were all laughing

By now we know the deal

You gotta dance with the

Ghost of the wheel

Nobody can know

Where the wind will scatter us

Sooner or later we will all be dust
