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
