[Chorus]
Smiling faces in faraway places that I've seen out on the road
Five million miles of wall-to-wall smiles on the lips of the young and old
What do I do when they turn out the lights and there’s no one here I know
And the hands on the clock say it's quarter to one and it's nearly time to go?

[Bridge]
I point my feet towards the doorway in search of some more [?]
And I guess it’s just another day out on the road

[Verse 1]
Just when I started singing the song, I don't remember when
And there's just thirty faces in this old world and they keep exchanging names
Just when I'm getting to know them, well enough to call them friends
I have to go back out on the road again

[Chorus]
Smiling faces in faraway places that I've seen out on the road
Five million miles of wall-to-wall smiles on the lips of the young and old
Cheap motels and long-winding rails of the trains taking me back home
How do you do? It's so good to see you and I'm back on the road again

[Verse 2]
What do I do when I'm age thirty-five and I’m sitting in a rocking chair?
Newspaper clippings and old snapshots I remember when I was there
If I had it over, I don’t think I'd change a thing
I spent all the days I love out on the road
[Chorus]
Smiling faces in faraway places that I’ve seen out on the road
Five million miles of wall-to-wall smiles on the lips of the young and old
Cheap motels and long-winding rails of the trains taking me back home
How do you do? It's so good to see you and I'm back on the road again

[Outro]
Back on the road again
