John Entwistle - Back On The Road Lyrics

Entwistle (c) 1979



I'm tired just kicking my heels at home

Waiting for the phone to ring

Anything but sit around all day and play

The electric drummer way

No audience applauds they can't see through doors

Chorus

But I got to get back on the road

Life is like a heavy stone around my neck

When I can't hit the deck

Back on the road

Turn on my guitar and empty all the pain

Play to you again

The world's a stage and I am just a player

Waiting for my turn to wear the crown

The world's a stage and I am just a player

You cut my strings and I fall down

Playing with yourself can send you blind

To everything you hear

Blind from ear to ear

Going crazy, being lazy

I find myself forgetting who I am

Maybe I'm a madman

Chorus

But I got to get back on the road

Life is like a heavy stone around my neck

When I can't hit the deck

Back on the road

Turn on my guitar and empty all the pain

Play to you again
