Back On The Road Lyrics - Singles - John Entwistle

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
