Time was, we couldn't wait to feel each other's touchCouldn't stand to be apart too long or too muchNow's a different situation, funny how love can start to fadeHow fast it goes from boom to bustWell, if I had my choiceWe'd part as friends, but it ain't up to meYou told me to go where it don't snowWell, if that's how it's gonna beJust gimme two rails of steelSilver wings or eighteen wheelsThis ain't the first time in my lifeI been sent packin' with my prideAll I need's a blacktop roadDon't even matter where I goThe moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawnAn' when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm goneSo you can keep your Dear John letter if it's all the same to youI've read the writin' on the wall, we're throughYour own words of consolation, your self-righteous indignationSound more like lies to tell the truthFeels good, I guessSongtexteTo get it off my chest before I'm up an' leaveSo you can save your sermon for someone elseInstead of wastin' it on meJust gimme two rails of steelSilver wings or eighteen wheelsThis ain't the first time in my lifeI been sent packin' with my prideAll I need's a blacktop roadDon't even matter where I goThe moon an' stars will keep me company 'till the dawnAn' when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm goneJust gimme two rails of steelSilver wings or eighteen wheelsThis ain't the first time in my lifeI been sent packin' with my prideAll I need's a blacktop roadDon't even matter where I goThe moon an' stars will keep me company 'till the dawnAnd when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm goneGlad I'm gone Aus Songtexte Mania
