lyrics

ON

I got shot of a bad feeling today
I tripped a hundred thousand miles and lost it on the way
I got feet that are cold and I'm wanting to go
I got nothing here cos everything is on the road

And I say "Hey!"
And the road goes on
And the feeling goes on
And life goes on yeah!

Got space and freedom here today
A hundred thousand miles away and still I'm in the race
There's a lot of positivity we can use
A hundred thousand people here and none of them can lose

And it's a long shot, it's the only one
Top slot, doing what it takes to stay
This field of hungry people can't be wrong
Doing what it takes today

And I say "Hey!"
And the road goes on
And the feeling goes on
And life goes on yeah!

I hope to see this energy remain
Made a hundred thousand pounds and threw it all away
I gotta feeling that I really can't miss this time

And I say "Hey!"
And the road goes on
And the feeling goes on
And life goes on yeah!

A new sound and the word gets around
That the world keeps spinning and I am here today, oh yeah
One hundred thousand people can't be wrong
Doing what it takes today, yeah yeah yeah
What it takes to stay

And I say "Hey!"
And the road goes on
And the feeling goes on
And life goes on yeah!
