Highway Song

Father, let us build a boat and sail away

There's nothing for you here

And brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea

It's been done before



I'm thinking 'bout a broken heart

I'm talking 'bout the break of dawn

You love me while i'm here

Then you can miss me when i'm gone

Sweet misunderstanding

Won't you leave a poor boy alone

I'm the one eyed seed of a tumbleweed

In the belly of a rolling stone



(chorus)

Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah

Back on the road again



I had a little woman in memphis

She wanted to be my bride

She said, settle on down, traveling man

You can stay right by my side

I tried so hard to please her

But i couldn't hold out too long

'cause one saturday night i was laying in bed

And i heard that highway song



- chorus -



Now one of these days that highway song will lose its appeal to me

I'm gonna settle on down like a natural born man

I'm gonna live my life naturally (free and easy)

Until that day the thunder's gonna roll

And i notice there's a sign of rain

So i grab my bags and i pack my clothes

And i'm back on the road again



- chorus -



I'm thinking 'bout a broken heart

I been talking 'bout the break of dawn

You loved me while i'm here

And you can miss me when i'm gone

And i said sweet misunderstanding

Won't you leave a poor boy alone

'cause i'm the one eyed seed of a tumbleweed

In the belly of a rolling stone



- chorus -



Here i am again

Holiday inn

Same old four walls again

Gee, but it's fine to be back home again (whoa, now)

Say, holiday inn, i'm on the road again
