Time to get back on the road Gonna leave these troubles behind Time to carry the load What my life is a true design You won't reach me by phone I'll be moving round between the line Time to get back on the road Gonna mend this heart of mine Don't you cry, when I say goodbye Baby, baby, carry on Don't you cry, when I say goodbye Cause baby, you're not alone The love that we shared was grand, But not enough to keep me still I hope someday you understand Music gives my heart, a thrill Don't you cry, when I say goodbye Baby, baby, carry on Don't you cry, when I say goodbye Cause, baby, you're not alone Since the day that my life began A band has been my true life plan Time to get back on the road Feel the music, take the stand You are my true love, Still there will be no one, to take your place This feeling, I can't erase. Got to move and have my space Don't you cry, when I say goodbye Baby, baby, carry on Don't you cry, when I say goodbye
