Side of the Road Lyrics

Side of the Road
Miller/West
INTRO: D G D A D
Left my bank book and a credit card, a good car with a full tank of gas
Watch me loose and hangin' on to things that make you hang on to the past
Ah, she's the only reason I was neck deep in that over time each day
And if she don't love me anymore I ain't got one good reason left to stay
CHORUS:
So I'll walk a little farther, convince myself I'm really goin' somewhere
The wind from the big rigs nearly knocks me off my feet
And leaves me wadin' thru the diesel in the air
And the last few days the weather has been on my side but all day long it's rain
And no one gives a ride to a man on the side of the road these days
Huddled 'neath this overpass, everything I own is soakin' wet
I've been prayin' for some tender heart to pick me up but it ain't happenin' yet
I don't blame the cars that pass me by, in these times you can't really trust no one
I found that out four days ago when I left her lyin' in another's arms
SOLO: G D A D
Now it used to be if a man was free his thumb could take him any place
But no one gives a ride to a man on the side of the road these days
No one gives a damn about a man on the side of the road these days
