Mind On The Road
Rev Run Lyrics

I got my mind up in Boston, crossin' back from Austin
My thoughts are focused on where I'm headed now, having just traveled from one place to another.

Fifty more tossed in, calling so often
I have many people trying to reach me and communicate with me, even when I'm on the move.

Gone from the alley, Cali to the valley
I've left behind rougher areas in California and gone to the valleys and smoother parts of the state.

Bronx to the Bowery, flyin' out to Maui
I've traveled from one part of New York City to another, and then flown across the country to Hawaii.

Up and down the highway, Monday to Friday
I frequently travel up and down highways during the weekdays.

Sat 'day to Sunday, everyday a fly day
I'm constantly flying from one place to another, every day of the week.

Fly from a city to a town then I'm gone
I travel from bigger cities to smaller towns, and then leave again.

Always on the road cause my records full blown
I'm constantly traveling to perform because my records are very popular.

Livin' out my bag but I'm never missin' home
Even though I live out of my suitcase, I don't feel homesick because I love what I do.

Papa was a rocker and I'm like a rollin' stone
My dad was a rock musician, and I'm like a nomadic traveler with no fixed home.

Got another call, “Yo it's time for the show!”
I've received another call informing me that it's time to perform.

Got my mind on the road and yo it's time to go!
I'm focused on my next destination and know that it's time to hit the road.

Life like I'm dazin', days after days in
My life can feel like a blur, with each day seemingly merging into the next.

Comin' from a place that ain't just amazin'
I come from a less privileged background and have worked hard to get to where I am now.

Off to the right and bright light tonight
I'm headed in the right direction towards the bright lights of tonight's performance.

Take a flight, shows tight, so hype and alright
I take a flight to my next performance, knowing that it will be a great show that's full of energy and excitement.

It's been like I'm dreamin', people just screamin'
Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a dream, with people enthusiastically cheering and screaming for me.

A rhyme that I wrote that was dope they was fiendin'
People are addicted to my music and eagerly waiting for me to perform my latest song.

Lines 'round the corner TV's and phoners
There are long lines of people waiting outside the venue, and even people watching live on TV and calling others to let them know about my performance.

Covers of your favorite magazines was a bonus
Being featured on the cover of popular magazines was an added bonus and a sign of my success.

Road was just callin', flows was just fallin'
The road was calling out to me, and my words were flowing out effortlessly as I wrote new music.

Record after record after rhyme I was bowlin'
I was writing and producing many records and songs, working at a fast pace but still doing it all skillfully.

Got to get the show cause Joe is on the flow
I need to hurry to my next performance because Joe is already starting to perform and the audience is expecting me.

Gotta flight for tonight and I'm ready to roll
I have a flight to catch tonight and I'm all packed and ready to leave.

All my homies checkin' for me and I'm ready to go
My friends are getting in touch with me to see if I'm ready to go and perform.

All the people wanna see me cause I'm killin' the show
People are eager to see me perform because I've been putting on amazing shows recently.

All the rockers wanna be me cause I'm gettin' the dough
Other musicians and entertainers are envious of my success and the money I'm making.

Now Rev's hall of famin', left as I came in
I am now part of the hall of fame, and- even though I have changed a lot during my career- I feel like I've returned to my roots and original self.

Gotta go again cause fans want my game in
I need to get back on the road because fans want to see me perform again and again.

Top priority, Rev's seniority, goin' on the road
Going on the road and performing is always my top priority, and since I'm a seasoned musician with years of experience, I know how to handle it well.

It's time for the show!
It's time for me to go out there and perform at my best.

Got my mind on the road!
My focus is on my next destination and my next performance.

Yo, got my mind on the road and yo it's time to go!
I'm reminding myself and others that I'm getting ready to travel again and prepare for another great show.
