On The Road |
Long ago in college days |
You could measure my hand |
By the style of my play |
Hitchhiking home when the dollars ran low |
I had little to do and nothing to say |
Then the road was grafted like a mistletoe |
To my skin and my bones |
I just had to go |
Then everyday and every time I stayed |
My feet were burnin' |
You just got to know |
It’s a never ending show |
Packup my toothbrush, I just got to go |
As we slaved out west |
On the cotton chipping |
For the money we got |
I knew we were slipping |
But later speeding down the Puttee Road |
Our heads were high |
And our hearts were skipping |
And we drove all day down Wallacia way |
For three long days of music and friends |
And we all got stoned on jungle juice and ladies |
When the last note died |
We hit the road again |
And oh |
Well I guess its never quite the same again |
Somebody moves his money in |
Saturday night and Tony and me |
Packed an airline bag and headed down to the sea |
The Duke was howlin' down in Sydney town |
And when the Duke’s around |
There’s just one place to be |
And the rain came down |
In Pitt Street in the morning |
The air was alive with little wings |
We slept in the car till the dawning |
And we broke our fast like vagabond kings |
And oh |
Well I guess its never quite the same again |
Somebody moves his money in |
Well time goes on |
And you ain’t any younger |
Your belly gets fat |
But you still got the hunger |
Your friend’s get married |
Your hair gets thin |
You want to leave it all behind |
And scream I’m on the road again |
I’m on the road again |
I’m on the road again |
I’m on the road again |
I’m on the road again… |
