Lyric They re on the road

Reo Speedwagon - They re on the road

It s the season of the golden leaves
When the wind turns into a bitter breeze

I was walking thru the oak leaves on the hill
With my lady, oh she s got a strong will
And I see her thru these ever-clouded eyes
This time it s goodbye and I can t answer why

Maybe it s because I ain t quite shy of running yet
Or maybe it s because I m the hometown boy in the spotlight
But my roots ain t in the ground
They re on the road

Settle down was all I ever heard from her
"If you cared," she said, "you would weigh my words"
But my life doesn t ride on the factory road
Baby, don t ask me why, I can t even pretend to know
