lyrics

It's raining tonight in Rapid city
Checking into a cheap motel
The roads been long and black
And theres no signs pointing back
Stepped outside as the rain disappeared
Met all of the travelers staying here
-
Levons been driving semis since his hair was brown
Passing through the blue mountains of Tennessee
Singing 'There's a girl waiting for me
Where the river meets the sea'

Started saying the road was getting old
Gonna trade it in for her I'm told
-
Met an old man on a train headed home
Said don't hang you shoes till you wanna stay
He turned his plane ore the South China Sea
And his back on a life of sad misery

Traveled up mountains, down streams
But the big sky country was the best he'd seen
-
Jackie and D, they're hitting the town tonight
Off to dig that saintly saxophone wail
Jack saw the sign and the copper paint
And boy he and D just couldn't wait

How they get by is anyones guess
But you can bet they're doing what they do best

Two lovers rush by they're just checking in
Too drunk to see the signs
They may forget love is hard to find
Till the day that they leave it behind

And they wont know what I mean
Till they're carving other names up i an old pine tree

Luke stands alone starring down the road
It looks like a tightrope of a trail
But theres something breathing down an unborn freeway
And that's where I'll be heading

-
Morning light and I'm on the road again
Like meeting up with a long lost friend
Just gonna sit and listen to the wheels spin
Let um tell me bout where they've been

There's not a day that goes by
I don't hear that wheel cry

"That it easy for me and keep rolling on"
