Brothers Of The Road Lyrics

 Silent shadows of the night

 Faded with the morning light

 We just wrote another song

 Maybe a word or two is wrong

 There's so much that could be said

 It's hard to write it in a line

 But when the final word is read

 Maybe something could be said

 For all the brothers of the road

 Just like you, we bear a heavy load

 Been through hell and back again

 If we don't lose we're bound to win

 

 Somehow they gave it all a name

 Just like a southern hurricane

 We play our music like a storm

 They say a brand new sound was born

 We're all brothers of the road

 Just like you, we bear a heavy load

 Been through hell and back again

 If we don't lose we're bound to win

 

 Some of us fell along the way

 We came together, not too proud to pray

 But the music must go on

 So there's no one left out there all alone

 We're just brothers of the road

 Casting shadows in the night

 Big wheels rolling on and on

 But everything's gonna be all right
