kinks - the road كلمات الأغنية

sitting alone in my hotel
looking in the mirror wondering, well
after all this time you never thought
you’d still be out on the road

like a gypsy i was born to roam
like a wanderer with no fixed abode
i think about the friends
i’ve left behind on the road

well, the road’s been rocky along the way
it’s been a long, hard haul on the motorway
but if it gets too smooth it’s time to call it a day

(on the road)
the bed and breakfasts and the greasy spoons
(the road)
the loser bars and the noisy rooms
(the road)
the casualties who did too many lines
(the road)
i’m wasted talent on women and wine

i think of all the friends i’ve left behind
whenever it’s time to get back out on the road

started playing blues in a coffee bar
i took a trip down the charing cross road
with my imitation gretsch guitar
and my head full of songs and my eyes full of stars

i saw a band called the rolling stones
i thought, “that’s it, i’ll get a band
i’m leaving home, i’m out on the road”

the motorways all over this land
(the road)
far away places like wigan and birmingham
(the road)
didn’t have no name, didn’t have any fans
(the road)
didn’t have no money, so we slept in the van

all those early gigs we ever played
sometimes we were lucky if we even got paid
on the road

pete played on the b-ss guitar
(the road)
liked to get around, mixing with all the stars
(the road)
but mrs. avory’s child was all fingers and thumbs
(the road)
but solid as a rock, setting time on the drums

while dave, the rave hit the rock ‘n’ roll riffs
yours truly strummed away with a slightly limp wrist
on the road

everyday is when i can’t get used to it
everyday is when i can’t get away
another day, another freeway to face
that’s the road

well, life is a road, it’s a motorway
and the road gets rocky along the way
but if it gets too smooth it’s time to call it a day

(on the road)
jimi hendrix, the who, the led zeppelin and free
(the road)
they took the road so it’s alright by me
(the road)
some are survivors, some are debris
(the road)
if you play in a band that’s the road that you take

living in it, eating in it, sleeping in it
you wake up in the morning, what do you see?
the road

life is a road, it’s a motorway
lost a lot of good friends along the way
all the families and homes that i’ve left behind
to the wives and the lovers and friends who had their time

i say, “you take your road and i’ll take mine”
(you take your road and i’ll take mine)
you take your road and i’ll take mine
(you take your road and i’ll take mine)

life is a road, it’s a motorway
and the road gets rocky along the way
but if it gets too smooth it’s time to call it a day

(on the road)
observed all the various phases from
flower power, heavy metal and acid rock
and still all the critics keep saying
“are they still around? when they gonna stop?”

it’s just the dedicated followers of fashion who like putting down
all the well respected men who came dancing and are still on the road

(the road)
sometime i get suicidal
(the road)
now everyone is a rival
(the road)
different cars, different bars and hotels
(the road)
corporations, big business and egos

when it all gets too bad i think back
when we were all each other had
when we started out on the road

and there’s gas in my tank
and i’ve still got a way to go
another hotel, it’s time to check out soon
as i look around the room

i think of all the friends i’ve left behind
on the road
