DOWN THE ROAD
Words & music by Rob Anthony & Keith Pulvermacher

The sun sets down on a painted sky
It's always hard to say goodbye
I never leave your smile behind
I take all of you with me

The open road it calls to me
The places I go the people I see
I bring everything they need
And help the world to move along

One mile down and a thousand more to go
I carry the load down the road

The desert heat it keeps me warm
Rain or shine I weather the storm
Your pictures I keep up above
Remind me of the love back home

I tell my son the faces I see
That day-to-day they rely on me
One day you will understand
I help the world to move along

One mile down and a thousand more to go
I carry the load down the road

Waves of grain and the starry nights
Mountaintops and the city lights
Thoughts of you by candle light
They all bring me back to you

One mile down and a thousand more to go
And you know I'm coming back home
I take you with me every where I go
I carry this load down the road

I Have been driving long haul for over 19 yrs, and i can say for sure this song strikes a cord in all of us Proffesional Drivers who spend many many weeks away from our loved ones, i missed alot of important things in my kids lives, one i am most affected by is the fact that i missed my Daughters Wedding because of my job.
