Well I saw him bailing out a mack truck
Coming off a long run
Looking bout 100 years old
We Started sipping on coffee
Good ole boy talking
When he told me bless my soul
Son you look ready
Small town ready
To blow this Texaco
Can't dream here anymore
Careful what you wish for
You don't know what you don't know
The road is the hardest part
It'll run a hole right through your heart
You get all them wheels a turning
It's gonna feel like a fire that's burning
You're so ready to get somewhere
Let me tell ya before ya start
The road is the hardest part
Man he wasn't lying
Seen my share of white lines
Gotta tell ya he was right
It's a cowboy ride
It's an outlaw life
It's a give it to me one more time
No it ain't where you wind up
It ain't where you start
The road is the hardest part
It'll run a hole right through your heart
You get all them wheels a turning
It's gonna Feeling like a fire that's burning
You're so ready to get somewhere
Let me tell ya before ya start
The road is the hardest part
Well I saw him bailing out a mack truck
Coming off a long run
Looking bout 100 years old
We Started sipping on coffee
