Let go of my hand, I can’t stay anymore,
I’ve got to run girl, I’ve got to run
I will leave this very morning, I will sail from these shores,
As soon as the sky meets the sun
And when I’ll be back I don’t know,
they call for the road, my heart and my soul
It’s in the blood that boils in my veins,
it’s my trusted companion, it’ll always be the same
Life is holy and every minute you are living
is as sumptuous as silver and gold
Falling slowly into the arms of my guitar
that keeps me safe in every city
On the long and winding trip on the road
I’ll turn at dozen paces,
smell like cigarettes and whiskey
Look at me like it’s the last time.
Love is a duel and music my salvation
I was born much more often than I’ll die
Oh you wise and level minds,
with your heads in the clouds and your feet far behind
It’s from the mad ones you can learn,
mad to live, mad to love, mad to burn, burn, burn
Life is holy and every minute you are living
is as sumptuous as silver and gold
Falling slowly into the arms of my guitar
that keeps me safe in every city
On the long and winding trip on the road.
