G 320033 [Intro] N.C. A one, a two, a one two three [Verse 1]D We've been doing this longer than you've been aliveD Propelled by some mysterious driveG And they still let me do it as weird as that seemsD And I do it most nights and then again in my dreamsA Infinite hallways and giant hotelsG Dressing room looks about as goodD as it smells [Verse 2]D Bottles of whisky and bottles of beerD There's a bottle of medicine somewhere round hereG We've been in nightclubs and we've been in barsD Honky-tonks and theaters from Memphis to MarsA Most of our shows were a triumph of rockG Although some nights I might haveD been checking the clock [Verse 3]D I'm only human though I'm super at timesD I jump off of risers I should not have climbedG Rock jumps won't kill you until one of them doesD Well, they'll say he died doing what he lovesA We got our share of loving in our pastG Although we were all looking forD someone who'd last [Verse 4]Continúa después del anuncioD Well, it must be hard to get partnered with meD Some narcissism, some OCDG Well, love that comes easy's a fake or a flukeD Love is a marathon, sometimes you pukeA Speaking of which there has been alcoholG Oceans and oceans, but that isn't allA Mountains of weed, a handful of pillsG None of the hard stuff, that shit killsA We've been doing it longer than you've been aliveG Twenty good years of aboutD twenty-five One, two, three [Chorus 1]G Rock and roll's been very veryD good to meA G The open road's the only place ID wanna beG Rock and roll's been very veryD good to meA G The open road's the only place ID wanna be [Verse 5]D I'm not crazy about songs that get self-referentialD And most of this stuff should be kept confidentialG Aw but who even gives half-a-fuck anymoreD Well, you should know the truth, it's both a blast and a boreA Rock stars were once such mythical creaturesG Up there with Presidents,D playmates and preachers [Verse 6]D Ah, now you just do it 'cause it's what you doD They throw underwear instead of money at youG Now, I've made a living out of shaking my assD And if you offer me an office, I'd have to passA But our jobs are all jobs and sometimes they suckG I love what I do, and I've hadD pretty good luck [Verse 7]D All the fans are all clapping and screaming and squealingD And I won't lie to you, that's a pretty sweet feelingG And I might butt heads with the guys in my bandD But I never once went to work for The ManA The men and the woman like you have been hurtG We're sharing this night that will soon be a blurA We've been doing this longer than you've been aliveG Get on the bus and tell the driverD to drive (one, two, three) [Chorus 2]G Rock and roll's been very veryD good to meA G The open road's the only place ID wanna beG Rock and roll's been very veryD good to meA G The open road's the only place ID wanna beG Rock and roll's been very veryD good to meA G Ah, the open road's the only placeD I wanna beA G I said the open road's the onlyD place I wanna be, ah yeah [Otro]D D Yeah, yeah
