Voltaire - On The Road Lyrics
On the road
It gets so lonely
Far away from home
Every night I cry myself to sleep
I cry a river of tears
And wish that you were here.
9 AM, there's a call on the phone
My agent says "I know you're not alone.
Kick the girl out, son,
There's a car outside
To take you to the airport."
12 PM, I'm on the plane
The stewardess smiles,
'Cause I remembered her name
And I told her:
"Honey, you should know that it's all the same."
The suit to my left, he gets all riled,
He says: "You're lucky that your life is wild."
And I said: "Hey Man,
That's just what it's like being on the road."
It gets so lonely
Far away from home
Every night I cry myself to sleep
I cry a river of tears
And I lie in this bed
And wish that you were here.
4 PM, I'm at the club
Checking sound in a dingy pub
Then it's back to the room
Where I drink some wine
And take a nap in the tub
12 AM, I hit the stage
The place is packed
And they're on a rage
I finish up with a lovesong,
Standing in the middle of a rain of thongs
Curtains closed and I hit backstage
I said "You better not be underaged!"
To the girl on my lap while
Everyone's taking their tops off
Everyone's taking their tops off
On the road
It gets so lonely
Far away from home
Every night I cry myself to sleep
I cry a river of tears
And I lie in this bed
And wish that you were here.
Naked girls throw themself at you
And you do things you never thought you'd do
All the champagne that you can drink
Man, it stinks, I tell you, it sucks
Being on the road.
4 AM, There's a knock on the door
The afterparty is in the room next door
Willie tells me that
Hank drank all of the beer,
But they're bringing more.
That's about when I hear the scream,
It's the girls from the pagan bikini team
They're undressed to kill
I hear they're rabid fans
And they aim to please
Johnny says that the party's wild,
I say "I'll be there in a while.
As soon as I finish writing
This stupid postcard,
Writing some girl this postcard."
On the road
It gets so lonely
Far away from home
Every night I cry myself to sleep
I cry a river of tears
And I lie - lie - lie - lie -lie -
Lie - lie - lie - lie - lie - lie
On the road.

Voltaire On The Road Comments
Comedy with country is nice, comedy as playing a joke with country music behind it, wit also helps, hate lives in a small town does this well
am i the only one who tought "when youre evil" after every "It gets so lonely "?
Fantastic song Aurelio
F#/Db/B/0,5A#/0,5B
I remember liking this song way back in the 2000s (we were so young, lol). I never realized Volty finally released it on this album. Awesome!
So how come it takes someone who is certainly not known for doing country music to come up with tunes that are actually country, as opposed to all that Rascal Flatts warmed-over boy band stuff? You are a true talent, Aurelio!
"And I lie lie lie lie lie!"
I fucking die laughing every time. But then I get better.
i usually really hate country music but voltaire does it so well i cant dislike the songs, its very nice.
I know, but he does his music so well and the tunes are so clear its hard not to love it.
After listening to this album, I can no longer say I only like two country songs.
However, I'm still picky when it comes to this genre.

they got left behind when voltaire hit the road
who the fuck disliked this
Just listening to this I remember the first time my old band played a song I actually wrote my boyfriend got pissed. lol
nice name XD
Remember you of a bad ass song wrote by a badass musician ...is called Brains .. wait a bit -> you wrote it ^_^
You need to make overseas tour mate! :)
greetings from Serbia :D
in a way this song does touch me, but im taking it from a soldiers view. when i went over seas, this song was playing whenever i thought about my friends and family back home.
OMG My boyfriend has been to like a hundred of your shows. He's got me hooked on you.
Have you thought of recording old traditional goth music? I used to tell the kids mountain and bluegrass music has deep, goth veins. Songs like "Taking Mary Home", "Banks of the Ohio", "Pretty Polly" and many others are deeply disturbing in a wonderful way.
Like it, just as I do all your songs!
OH MY GOD YOU REPLIED. I can now die in peace. You're brilliant!!!!!
Thanks, Brain Eathing Meteor!!! ; )
I normally don't like country music, but this album is amazing. You're amazing.
Hahaha... You make me actually enjoy country music!! Like, I'm perfectly fine with it normally, being born and raised in Georgia and all... But my mom and sister are OBSESSED with the annoying kind that is all about stupid things and its all basically the same thing over and over!! I like Johnny Cash... And now you. That's it.
I guess you did a full country album. That kinda makes me wonder what you'll do next............ Maybe put some dark but true humor to the main stream music industry? LOL, you'll kill them XD.
Wise man once say, "I don't hate Country, I hate what Country's become".
Cdbaby.com, or Amazon
I'm another of those who doesn't like country, but I think all your music is awesome. I bought this album and my husband was like "hey you never listened to country before!", and after listening to it he liked it too. I believe I've made another Voltaire fan of him ^_^
Maybe you are like me and you hate hearing the country accent, which he obviously has none unless he is trying to mock it :P
hey voltair where can we buy physical copys of your CDs? i dont like having just a downloaded version and i really hate apple so not gonna buy anything through them. (sorry man nothing personal) big fan tho
http://www.voltaire.net/music/ have fun ;)
I have been on tour with a full band three times. The first time it was musicians from NYC that I worked with, the second was with Hellblinki Sextet as my backing band and the third was with This Way to the Egress as the backing band.
ehm ehm sorry,is there anyone that can explain to me the meaning of this song?
Guy is a star, goes on tours and lives it up. People are jealous of him, he has beautiful girls and parties, but he hates it because he doesn't have a real connection with the person he loves back home. That's why he writes postcards to the person and always feels sad. When he says that he "lies, lies, lies, lies on the road" he repeats it because he's lying to himself about his ignoring of his feelings. He could also be cheating and feeling crappy but seems like a stretch.
YEAH! Now I can say that the only country I like is not just Johnny Cash, but Voltaire too!!!:)
I am so loading this into the radio station night loop. :)
Thank you for finally posting the rest of the album ^-^
It's strange because I REALLY dislike country music, but there's something about YOU that makes me love this album and it will be one of the albums I will buy in the (hopefully) near future ^-^
Yay! Voltaire is finally uploading the rest of HLIAST!
One of my favorites. You should do a "How to play: When You're Dead" or "The Churchyard."
This album was my jam last summer (I didn't realize you had new music out until July, it was a nice surprise).
excellent country song ^^
YES! i love this song! <3
Im thankful that you did post this on youtube this way people get another free way to enjoy your wonderful music . If i could i would buy your songs
Voltaire, you make country music sound good. My ears thank you :3
Actually this is old music. It came out 2 years ago and it could been yours for a mere 99 cents on iTunes! lol!
Yay! New music is mine!
