A Road Is Just A Road — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(Mary Chapin Carpenter/John Jennings)

He pulled out in a cloud of dust
Laying rubber and spewing rust
And on any road he`d take
He`d have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake
Underneath the smooth tar curves
A road is only dust and dirt
On a lonely interchange
The signs all look the same

`Cause a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Waterloo to Wichita
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight`s another dawn, 100 miles ago
His wheels spun out of sight of me
Believing that I`d set him free
But I`d heard the voice of the prisoner
Saying he couldn`t get enough of her

You go by land, you go by air
You go by sea, hell I don`t care
You can go any way you choose
Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes

And a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight`s another dawn, a hundred miles ago

And every sleepless night I see him
Screaming by the scenery
Not noticing another mile
That`s rolled down between him and me

`Cause a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight`s another dawn, a hundred miles ago

Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling`s just a feeling
No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste. Marie
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
And midnight`s another dawn, a hundred miles ago
