On That Road by Stevie Jones and The Wildfires Lyrics
Just out from the mainland
From the ferry I can see the shore
The white cliffs of Dover
They fade to mist behind me once more
On a road to nowhere
A ship of discovery
You are captain of your ship
The master of your destiny
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a crossroad you will find
The roots of you and your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
When you're on that road
That rail road
On that road
Heading out from the station
Another midnight train
Me and Roy and Johno
And some Libyan guys we met on the way
Could have been Dubrovnik
Might have been Belgrade
We played our guitars we sang our songs
And cut through the night into the day
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a crossroad you will find
The roots of you, your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a station you will find
The roots of you and your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
When you're on that road
That rail road
On that road
Lying on the hot sand
In the Matala bay
Here Joni met Carey
And they found love down by the caves
Here I lay my head down
Underneath the stars
Today is life
Tomorrow never comes
Cos on the road you learn who you are
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a crossroad you will find
The roots of you and your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
Travel so far sail the seven seas
Always a highway you can find
The roots of you and your history
Will be with you at the back of your mind
When you're on that road
That rail road
When you're on that road
When you're on that road
On that road
When you're on that road
When you're on that road
That rail road
From the ferry I can see the shore
The white cliffs of Dover
They fade to mist behind me once more
On a road to nowhere
A ship of discovery
You are captain of your ship
The master of your destiny
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a crossroad you will find
The roots of you and your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
When you're on that road
That rail road
On that road
Heading out from the station
Another midnight train
Me and Roy and Johno
And some Libyan guys we met on the way
Could have been Dubrovnik
Might have been Belgrade
We played our guitars we sang our songs
And cut through the night into the day
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a crossroad you will find
The roots of you, your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a station you will find
The roots of you and your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
When you're on that road
That rail road
On that road
Lying on the hot sand
In the Matala bay
Here Joni met Carey
And they found love down by the caves
Here I lay my head down
Underneath the stars
Today is life
Tomorrow never comes
Cos on the road you learn who you are
Travel so far, sail the world
Always a crossroad you will find
The roots of you and your family
Will be with you at the back
Of your mind
Travel so far sail the seven seas
Always a highway you can find
The roots of you and your history
Will be with you at the back of your mind
When you're on that road
That rail road
When you're on that road
When you're on that road
On that road
When you're on that road
When you're on that road
That rail road
