lyrics

Sittin’ in me dresser, me hair is still a mess and there’s a knock upon the door
It’s five minutes till show time I really gotta go time but I can’t take any more
I feel like getting out of me head
Sometimes it’s hard to get out of bed
But when the band starts rockin’ I gotta start singin’ along

The road is getting longer but the fans are growing stronger
I never read the writing on the wall
Every day a new town greets me. Every night the people meet me
On stage I’m gonna have me a ball

There’s groupies, roadies and sycophantic toadies all hangin’ round me dressing room door
It don’t matter how many albums I do the record company always calls for one more
I’m settling down with wife number free
It’s been ages since I last had V.D.
But the thing that really thrills me when I’m on stage rocking for you and you and you and you yeah

The road is getting longer but the fans are growing stronger
I never read the writing on the wall
Every day a new town greets me. Every night the people meet me
On stage I’m gonna have me a ball

When every town’s the same and every sky turns grey
I’ll still get on the road again and play
And play
Take it away lads
Yeah sounds nice

The airports, the limos, the hotels and the venues all start to feel the same
Non stop touring it can get a bit boring
This must be a young man’s game
I don’t wanna throw a T.V.
I’d rather have a nice cup of tea
But when the spotlight hits me I feel like I’m the king of the world

The road is getting longer but the fans are growing stronger
We never read the writing on the wall
Every day a new town greets me. Every night the people meet me
On stage we’re gonna have us a ball

The road is getting longer but the fans are growing stronger
We never read the writing on the wall
Every day a new town greets me. Every night the people meet me
On stage we’re gonna have us a ball
You know what I mean now
You know what I mean now
You know what I mean now
