Lyrics
We’re on a drive that’s never over
To play for a barman and his hateful brother
Who sit at the bar not even trying
It’s that kind of night when no one’s buying
And we fall between the lines
Staying true, trusting every sign
But we know
There’s no end
To the road
To shake the room to fill the air
That’s all we have, that’s what there is
Because in a song it’s so clear
The heart of the world drawing near
And for the song there’s always more
Than you have there’s always more
And you know
There’s no end
To the road
Win or lose, the music’s right
We’ll lose the war to win the fight
We’re soldiers proud who still believe
The war is worth the friends we leave
And the song is the answer
Right or wrong, it don’t matter
And we know
There’s no end
To the road
And we know
There’s no end
To the road
