Highway Song

[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
