Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the people standing, see them waiting around, uh-huh
Try to find a station on the west side of town, uh-huh
After all the gear is packed and the place shuts down
So here we go on our way
Late night travel
This wonderful way
It's always this one
This wonderful way
Taking in the wind, here we go again
Another town, another night, another priceless gig, uh-huh
Music, sweet music, continues to ring in our head, uh-huh
After all the lights are out and everyone's in bed, uh-huh
It's always this one
This wonderful way
It's always this one
This wonderful way
It's always this one
This wonderful way
It's always this one, one, one
Wonderful way, uh-huh
Giddy-up I said
