The fire, the wine, the bed and you
In this crimson light I find the truth
And the truth is like a punch or two
It hits you hard it knocks you through

So I, get on the road and ride to you
I get on the road and ride to you

A kiss like a fight that neither wins
One tender payment for our sins
You are the drug that I can't quit
Your perfect chaos is a perfect fit

So I, get on the road and ride to you
I get on the road and ride to you

From broken farm to broken farm
The engine noise like an alarm
It breathes a thunder in my soul
It starts to rise through the dust bowl

So I, get on the road and ride to you
I get on the road and ride to you

The wheel, it settles in my hands
This is the measure of this man
I point the car at north, at you
My route has scarred the country through

So I, get on the road and ride to you
I get on the road and ride to you

I get on the road and ride to you
I get on the road and ride to you

    My Interpretation

    Basically i think this song is a love song. Its about two people in one of those relationships where the two lovers are always fighting and breaking up only to get back togther.

    I think this is from one, if not both people's points of view (the two singers - male and female) where after a huge fight they realise that this is person they are meant to be with and so set out to find them
