Give Me the Road - Charlie Fink

It’s time to go, I’m taking flight

From now on I travel light

I want to break and be remade

I want the truth that I try to evade

Go east or west, up or down

Two ways to live, you swim or you drown

So keep your fists up or get knocked out

Won’t know you’re hit 'till you hear the ten count

'Cause the road is a boxer swinging his right

A heavyweight champion that I’m gonna fight

Toe to toe, eye to eye

I’m gonna grapple with the muscle of life

So give me the road

Give me the road

I want to sing in a country bar

And get laid under a clear sky of stars

No turning back, keep straight ahead

I’ll light my patch with a cigarette

'Cause the road is a matchstick that I’m gonna strike

And hold it up burning into the night

I need adventure, I need a spark

I’m now wasting my life in the dark

So give me the road

Give me the road
