作曲 : Jewell Time was, we couldn't wait to feel each other's touch Couldn't stand to be apart too long or too much Now's a diff'rent situation, funny how love can start to fade How fast it goes from boom to bust Well, if I had my choice We'd part as friends, but it ain't up to me You told me to go where it don't snow Well, if that's how it's gonna be Just gimme two rails of steel Silver wings or eighteen wheels This ain't the first time in my life I been sent packin' with my pride All I need's a blacktop road Don't even matter where I goThe moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn An' 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 you I've read the writin' on the wall, we're through Your own words of consolation, your self-righteous indignation Sound more like lies to tell the truth Feels good, I guessTo get it off my chest before I'm up an' leave So you can save your sermon for someone else Instead of wastin' it on me Just gimme two rails of steel Silver wings or eighteen wheels This ain't the first time in my life I been sent packin' with my pride All I need's a blacktop road Don't even matter where I goThe moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn An' when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm goneJust gimme two rails of steel Silver wings or eighteen wheels This ain't the first time in my life I been sent packin' with my pride All I need's a blacktop road Don't even matter where I goThe moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn And when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm goneGlad I'm gone
