Back on the road, nothing but farm towns Big city lights fading in the background Fruit trees swaying, they go a hundred miles Make a person start thinking about life's trials And the seeds of time, and how they soon get to sow Tom is singing Hold On and we keep on rolling There's a time, a time for laughing and a time for crying This past year too many good folks have been dying All I can do is make the best of what you left me Help tow the line, help lighten the load And I don't understand about the wind and the weather Or of God above and if things are getting better I call my friends, we go on a bend Cause you never know when you'll see them again Is it just dumb luck when you make it to the end of the line? I light my smoke, just to keep from crying
