[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
I'm thinking about a broken heart
I'm talking 'bout the break of dawn
You love me while I'm here
And 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
[Verse 2]
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]
Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah
Back on the road again
[Verse 3]
Now one of these days that highway song
Will lose its appeal to me
I'm going to settle on down
Like a natural born man
I'm going to live my life naturally (free and easy, mmm)
Until that day the thunder's going to 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]
Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah
Back on the road again
[Verse 1]
I'm thinking about a broken heart
I'm talking 'bout the break of dawn
You love 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''
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
[Outro]
Here I am again, Holiday Inn
Same old four walls again
Gee, but it's fine to be back home again, whoa, now
Said, Holiday Inn, I'm on the road again
