about

I got the idea for this song driving down Expressway 83 here in South Texas in my Dad's old Subaru, which did not have a working CD player, mp3 player, bluetooth connection, or any semblance of a modern way to listen to music. So I turned on the radio and after a few minutes of scanning the channels, I said to myself, "I'd rather listen to the rhythm of the road than THAT!" and the song was born!

lyrics

I'd rather listen to
the rhythm of the road
than tune in to the radio
there's too many love songs
to remind me of you and I
I'd rather focus on
the cars goin' by
look straight ahead
ignore the rear view
I'm not looking back
I'm not comin' back to you
There's nothin' like a highway
to ease my troubled mind
With every mile that passes
I'm leavin' more of us behind
Drivin' just as fast as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
This crack in my windshield
reminds me of us
the way that we left our love
split right in two
broken beyond repair
It's hard to be sad
when the sky's this blue
sun shinin' bright
got nothin' to do
Oh the tops rolled down
wind blowin' through my hair
There's nothin' like a highway
to ease my troubled mind
With every mile that passes
I'm leavin' more of us behind
Drivin' just as fast as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
Crossroads ahead
what should I do
turn around and head for you
or keep goin' north
into the great beyond
Think I'll drive as far as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
There's nothin' like a highway
to ease my troubled mind
With every mile that passes
I'm leavin' more of us behind
Drivin' just as fast as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
Rhythm of the Road
