I'd rather listen to the rhythm of the road / than tune in to the radio / there's too many love songs / to remind me of you and I / I'd rather focus on / the cars goin' by / look straight ahead / ignore the rear view / I'm not looking back / I'm not comin' back to you / There's nothin' like a highway / to ease my troubled mind / With every mile that passes / I'm leavin' more of us behind / Drivin' just as fast as I can go / listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road / This crack in my windshield / reminds me of us / the way that we left our love / split right in two / broken beyond repair / It's hard to be sad when the sky's this blue / sun shinin' bright / got nothin' to do / Oh the tops rolled down / wind blowin' through my hair / There's nothin' like a highway / to ease my troubled mind / With every mile that passes / I'm leavin' more of us behind / Drivin' just as fast as I can go / listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road / Crossroads ahead / what should I do / turn around and head for you / or keep goin' north into the great beyond / Think I'll drive as far as I can go / listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road/ There's nothin' like a highway / to ease my troubled mind / With every mile that passes / I'm leavin' more of us behind / Drivin' just as fast as I can go / listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road / Rhythm of the Road

I got the idea for this song driving down Expressway 83 here in South Texas in my Dad's old Subaru, which did not have a working CD player, mp3 player, bluetooth connection, or any semblance of a modern way to listen to music. So I turned on the radio and after a few minutes of scanning the channels, I said to myself, "I'd rather listen to the rhythm of the road than this!" and then the song was born.

Joel Brogon is a Folk/Americana artist living on the border in South Texas near the Rio Grande River. His influences range from folky sounds of the Seventies to Nineties Country to classic singer songwriters. As a writer his focus is the story, whether it be about his own experiences or giving voice to those who may not have one. He loves connecting with audiences in small, intimate venues like coffeehouses, listening rooms, home concerts and sometimes the front porch. An activist and community spiritual leader, Joel lives with his husband Christopher and their four fur-children.
