Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Keepin' the Road Hot

They say when you find true love

You'd better hang on to what you've got

Find a way to make it last

Be sure that girl is yours.

Well, my baby lives away 'cross town

Until things change, I'm blacktop bound

It makes me feel alive to rev it up and ride.

I'll be keepin' the road hot

I'm on the move, ain't gonna stop

Hearts on fire and we're miles apart

So I'll be keepin' the road hot.

I get up and I work all day

The minutes seem like hours as they tick away

By afternoon the time's so slow

I'm a daydream night-time Romeo.

Then the whistle blows and it's time to rock

I head out for that parking lot

Car is on my side, I rev it up and ride.

I'll be keepin' the road hot

I'm on the move, ain't gonna stop

Hearts on fire and we're miles apart

So I'll be keepin' the road hot.

Mmm, that highway sound

Thinking of her as the wheels go
