Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2002 Moockshake Music
I’ve traveled ’round this country, up and down both coasts
The view from out my car window’s the view I like the most
New York or San Francisco, anywhere I go’s just fine
Miami or Mount Kisco, anywhere I go’s just fine
I’ve left a thousand towns, but I’ve never left the road behind
I’ve traveled on the highways and I’ve traveled on the streets
I’ve traveled on the back roads through the fields and county seats
The back roads are my favorite though, I like the way they wind
But whatever path I’ve followed, I’ve never left the road behind
I’ve gone Boston to Tuscon and back around again
I’ve gone it on my own and I’ve gone it with a friend
A companion can be nice if they’re not talking all the time
Companionship is fine if they’re not yakking you blind
But friends will come and go, I’ve never left the road behind
Life can get confusing, you look up and find you’re lost
I always find I’m burning bridges I still haven’t crossed
With driving it’s so easy, every mile there’s a sign
I just watch the dotted lines and I’ve never left the road behind
People say it’s running to be traveling all the time
They say if you don’t settle you can’t find your peace of mind
But I’m settled in my traveling and my head’s just feeling fine
Yes, I’ve traveled in all settings and my head’s just feeling fine
My peace is in my car seat and I’ve never left the road behind
And that’s the reason why I’ve never left the road behind
