Lyrics
I'm winding down that lonesome empty road
I'm hauling such a heavy mental load
I'm looking back but everything is fading
The wheels roll on to stop the endless waiting
But I'll keep on, keep on keeping on
Now I drive all night to stop the endless waiting
Keep trucking on just waiting for the healing
Some nights are long, it seems there never ending
This motor's spent; it needs a bit of tending
But I'll keep on, keep on keeping on
The road ahead will be the road behind
And yesterdays keep pressing on my mind
But I'll keep on keeping on
(Solo)
Now this diesel turns the midnight into day
Which exit should I choose along the way
The pavement's hot but the wheels just keep on turning
Ready or not, my heart it is a?burning
But I'll keep on, keep on keeping on...
