The Road Is a Lover
Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · So Long So Wrong [Rounder] [1997]
(Bob Lucas)
I met a man traveling down the road
He looked me in the eye
And he gave me a ring and he gave me a rose
And he told me some gypsy lies.
The road is a lover, you never recover not now or any time soon
My head starts to spin when I think where I've been
Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune
Oh, oh, as the wind chases after the moon.
--- Guitar - Mandolin - Banjo Instrumental ---
Through the kindness shown me
That day I gave him this melody
And we sang in duet neath the stars in the sky
And the shadows of dancing trees.
The road is a lover, you never recover not now or any time soon
My head starts to spin when I think where I've been
Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune
Oh, oh, as the wind chases after the moon.
--- Fiddle Instrumental to fade ---
