Time was, we couldn´t wait to feel each other´s touch
Couldn´t stand to be apart too long or too much
Now´s a diff´rent situation, funny how love can start to fade

How fast it goes from boom to bust
Well, if I had my choice
We´d part as friends, but it ain´t up to me
You told me to go where it don´t snow
Well, if that´s how it´s gonna be
Just gimme two rails of steel
Silver wings or eighteen wheels
This ain´t the first time in my life
I been sent packin´ with my pride
All I need´s a blacktop road
Don´t even matter where I go
The moon an´ stars will keep me company till the dawn
An´ when the sun comes up we´ll both be glad I´m gone
So you can keep your Dear John letter if it´s all the same to you
I´ve read the writin´ on the wall, we´re through

Your own words of consolation, your self-righteous indignation
Sound more like lies to tell the truth
Feels good, I guess
To get it off my chest before I´m up an´ leave
So you can save your sermon for someone else
Instead of wastin´ it on me
Just gimme two rails of steel
Silver wings or eighteen wheels
This ain´t the first time in my life
I been sent packin´ with my pride
All I need´s a blacktop road
Don´t even matter where I go
The moon an´ stars will keep me company till the dawn
An´ when the sun comes up we´ll both be glad I´m gone
Just gimme two rails of steel

Silver wings or eighteen wheels
This ain´t the first time in my life
I been sent packin´ with my pride
All I need´s a blacktop road
Don´t even matter where I go
The moon an´ stars will keep me company till the dawn
And when the sun comes up we´ll both be glad I´m gone
Glad I´m gone
