Brothers Of The Road

We all go on a two month tour

Nearly work ourselves sick

Now we don't know were all the money goes

But we sure ain't gettin' rich

And I think if that men in New York and L.A.

Are givin' us the old run around

Ya bring 50, 000 home and he says your overdrawn

It'll just about get you down

Just about get you down

But we keep on pickin'(Keep on pickin')

And we keep on singin'(Keep on singin')

And we try and try to get high so we can keep on grinin'

Oh you wish you had a home and someone of your own

To love you when you get back in town

But this kind of life don't talk to a wife

It'll just about get you down

Just about get you down

Keep on pickin'

Keep on singin'

(Repeat x2)

Yeah you got fortune and fame and a well known name

Oh your really flyin' high

Whether your rock or country or blues or funky

We're all made the same inside

Livin' in fear of the later years

When nobody's gonna want you around

Yes the brothers of the road all share the same load

And it'll just about get you down

If you let it it'll bring you down

You gotta keep on pickin' (Keep on pickin')

You gotta keep on singin' (Keep on singin')

And you try and you try to stay high

So you can keep on grinin'

You spend a lot of time alone and talkin' on the phone

To the latest love that you've found

Then cry over the girl you really wanted in your world

It'll just about get you down

If you let it it'll bring you down

Just keep on pickin' (Keep on pickin')

Just you gotta keep on singin' (Keep on singin')

You gotta try and try to stay high

So you can keep on grinin'

Livin' in fear of the later years

When nobody's gonna want you around

Yes the brothers of the road all share the same load

And it'll just about get you down

Lord it's got a lot of us down

But I will keep on pickin' (Keep on pickin')

I'm gonna gonna keep on singin' (Keep on singin')

And I'll try and try to stay high so I can keep on grinin'

I'm gonna keep on pickin' (Keep on pickin')

Boy I'll do it

Gonna keep on singin' (Keep on singin')

You gotta try and try my music keeps me high

I'm gonna keep on grinin'

I'm gonna keep on pickin'

Keep on grinin'

Keep on singin' (Keep on singin')

I don't have to try and try to stay high

I'm gonna keep on grinin'
