Well the road keeps coming and there ain’t no belt to fasten
Spend our lifetime runnin’, makin’ this here music happen
I wanna die in the saddle with my boots on
I wanna hear the drums rattle, wanna hear that highway moan

Well it’s getting early and I’m feeling late
About 14 days into a tour of about 17 states
There’s a trail of smiles leading to where we’re found
Just another 200 miles before another night on the town
We met Legba at the crossroads that was where we laid our deal down

Chorus:
Motels & Highways
The only home I’ll ever know
Gonna set sail for a new day
Gonna take us anywhere we gotta go

Been cheated and forgiven and I been a liar too
Done a whole lotta livin’, done my share of dying too
I’ve cast the devil’s shadow, in the heart of the badlands
I’ve seen a little bit of this world unravel, down here pickin’ in a five piece band
Been led through the valley of the shadow of death by a man with a guitar in his hand

Chorus:
Motels & Highways
Deliver me from the place I’ve come
Gonna set sail for a new day
Find me a brand new place to start from

Wrote a song for my Savior, nobody said a word
Wrote one for the Devil and my voice could not be heard
Feel like I’m in the middle of a big change coming’ on
The last few days have felt a little like the Prodigal Son’s walk home
We’re just trying to take a piece of the picture, and share the time to put it where it belongs

Chorus:
Motels & Highways
Come too far now to look back
Gonna set sail for a new day
Push that train a little further down the tracks
Motels & Highways
The only home I’ll ever know
Gonna set sail for a new day
Going from New York City to Mexico
Just ain’t no place like the road
