Some people may consider this to be a 'road song', we consider it a 'love song'. Want to thank Gordon Smith who played drums, Paul Hope on bass, Billy Wheeler on banjo and Jim Hebb, rhythm guitar. A special thanks to Diana Rae who favored us with her beautiful harmonies on the chorus. Dwight sang the lead vocal and Keith played lead guitar.
Lyrics
Playin my guitar, actin like a star
While the people clap and cheer
And though they’re here with me
None of them can see
That my music’s not for here
On the road again, six months maybe ten
This kind of life, just won’t do
Cause livin like a king
Doesn’t mean a thing
If I can’t live my life with you
(chorus)
For my mind, is on the open highway
That leads right to your door
And my heart’s a thousand miles away
Longing to be with you once more
But for now I’ll sing a song for you
A love song for two
And as I sing this song for you tonight
You can kiss the children good night
My name’s up in lights, but there’s many lonely nights
When I wish it wasn’t so
Though the glitter of tinsel town
Is shinin all around
I can’t remember when I’ve been this low
(chorus)
Cause my mind, is on the open highway
That leads right to your door
And my heart’s a thousand miles away
Longing to be with you once more
But for now I’ll sing a song for you
A love song for two
And as I sing this song for you tonight
You can kiss the children good night
