[Verse 1]

One step forward and two steps back

Oh, you try to escape a world

That keeps on holding you back

And I'm tired of pushing uphill

Don't want to fight it anymore, oh

[Verse 2]

You put it down and pick it up

The back and forth, the never giving up

The low that meets the high

A cyclical demise, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

If I were to think of who I might become

There's a lot who fail and I won't be one

My feet on the ground and my head in the cloud

I won't have it any other way

[Break]

There's a lot of ground to cover

Can I just take things slower?

[Pre-Chorus]

On the road again

Rolling like a river through the summertime

Leading me always to that borderline

As we move through familiar places

[Chorus]

Smoky blue (yeah!) mountains let those roads

Unravel you

Take your thoughts and make you something new

As we move through familiar places

[Verse 4]

"You think you're a rock star?" They say

"You call it living when you can't afford to pay for"

Certain pleasure in what they say

You're just a fool, you're just throwing it away

I can be lost, I can run, I can find my way

Never listen to what they might say

[Pre-Chorus]

On the road again

I'll be on the road again

Yeah, I'll be on the road again

I'll be passing through familiar places

[Chorus]

Oh, smoky blue (yeah!) mountains let those roads

Unravel you

Take your thoughts and make you something new

As we move through familiar places
