Levellers

The Road

Levellers


Headlights, white lights, black tar rivers 
Dragging me around this country as it whithers 
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way 
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today 

And we play and we play 
To every day, every day 
To every day 

In the front rooms of old towns far from the city 
With beat up guitars and hearts full of pity 
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere 
Torn from the nation, left without a care 

CHORUS 

And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word 
And we'll rid the bloody world cos 
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away 

Warm night, clear sky, European town 
Out side the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd
Open boots, violin, banjo and a voice 
Exiled buskers, happy with their choice 

CHORUS
