The Road Is a Lover

(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.
