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 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
Gee, but it�s fine to be back home again (whoa, now)
Say, holiday inn, I�m on the road again
