I'm a roadmaster baby and i spent my life on the road
i'm a travelin' musician and i'm carryin' a pretty big load
i've spend my days drivin' down the highway
when the show is over i gotta do it my way
so look out honey 'cause a roadmaster's on the road
I met a pretty woman down in nashville, tennessee
she said she'd blew the harp if i could blow a number and see
the evenin' was nice, i knew her pretty well
she said she'd like to stick around and talk for a spell
but tomorrow i'll be wakin' and a roadmaster's got to move on
One evenin' at a truck stop when i was on the way to a gig somewhere
some slick-back truck drivers started givin' me some shit about my long hair
i just smiled, i told them they were right
and i snuck out the door like a thief in the night
got the four wheels a-turnin', got the roadmaster back on the road
I'm a fool for the highway, i never thought of settlin' down
i like to play my music when there's lots of pretty women around
never noticed any difference between a woman and a lady
i love 'em all from sixteen to eighty
when the moon is shinin' and the roadmaster's on the road
I'm a roadmaster baby and i spent my life in the road
i'm a travelin' guitar picker and i feel i got a big load
i've spend my days driving down the highway
when the show is over i gotta do it my way
so look out honey 'cause a roadmaster's on the road
