Fatherlet us build a boat and sail away
There’s nothing for you here
And brotherlet 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 highwayyeahyeahyeah
Back on the road again
I had a little woman in memphis
She wanted to be my bride
She saidsettle on downtraveling 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 it’s 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
Geebut it’s fine to be back home again (whoanow)
Sayholiday innI’m on the road again
