The road is breaking my heart And I can barely breathe One of us here is bound to stay And the other, bound to leave The road is breaking my heart So is on the move How can it be so involuntary and always the thing that I choose? Always the thing that I choose The road is breaking my heart And it's no wonder why And I will let it kill me Before I let it see me cry The road is breaking my heart With a vision of us remains Somewhere further down the road we're rich, or changing tires in the rain You have a child and you're bound to want more I cannot provide I can't be the man that you want In a house where I don't reside In a town where I don't reside The road is breaking my heart And it's no wonder why But I will let it kill me Before I let it see me cry Before I let it see me cry The road is breaking my heart As I pass through the state line The fields are bled of everything It's so beautiful, stark, and unkind I know roads change and things march along And if we can't meet at its end If thinking of you is the best I can do Then I'll go there time and again Yeah, I'll go there time and again The road is breaking my heart And it's no wonder why But I will let it kill me Before I let it see me cry The road is breaking my heart But isn't it breaking them all? The travel must be worth the trip Before we sputter, and stammer, and fall Before we sputter, and stammer, and fall La da da da da de day La da de da da da de day La da de da da da de day La da de dayyyy La da da dayyy mmmmm
