Allman Brothers Band, The - Brothers Of The Road

Silent shadows of the night
Faded with the morning light
We just wrote another song
Maybe a word or two is wrong
There`s so much that could be said
It`s hard to write it in a line
But when the final word is read
Maybe something could be said
For all the brothers of the road
Just like you, we bear a heavy load
Been through hell and back again
If we don`t lose we`re bound to win

Somehow they gave it all a name
Just like a southern hurricane
We play our music like a storm
They say a brand new sound was born
We`re all brothers of the road
Just like you, we bear a heavy load
Been through hell and back again
If we don`t lose we`re bound to win

Some of us fell along the way
We came together, not too proud to pray
But the music must go on
So there`s no one left out there all alone
We`re just brothers of the road
Casting shadows in the night
Big wheels rolling on and on
But everything`s gonna be all right
