Knight of the Road |
| When mama pushed me thru daddy said my do |
| Was quite the shock |
| Claimed I cried like a dog bayin' at the moon |
| Slung my hips about, learned to twist and shout |
| Way before I could talk |
| And by the time I saw nine I started to croon |
| And then I beat those skins day out day in |
| I broke my poor mama’s head |
| Could’ve fared better in school but I was cool |
| So I joined a band instead |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I’m a bird of passage |
| Only passing through this land |
| A boy born with a twinkle in his eye |
| And a tote bag in one hand |
| I’m a dreamer, a lover, I ain’t no other |
| Than a Gypsy rollin' along |
| Yea I came into this world |
| And I’ll go out with a song |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I’m one side king, other side fool |
| I wear a straw hat for a crown |
| The long and lonesome road is home sweet home |
| So I hang my hat, wherever I’m at |
| A few loyal subjects gather round |
| And toss me a coin before it’s time that I roam |
| I love to put on the dog, hog the spot |
| Lord gaveth me no shame |
| So if you don’t much care for my general flair |
| Ain’t none but heaven to blame |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I’m a bird of passage |
| Only passing through this land |
| A boy born with a twinkle in his eye |
| And a tote bag in one hand |
| I’m a dreamer, a lover, I ain’t no other |
| Than a Gypsy rollin' along |
| Yea I came into this world |
| And I’ll go out with a song |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I took my castles in Spain, my fifteen minutes o' fame |
| And I buried it six feet deep |
| Along with a few choice pieces of attire |
| At times I take eight by tens from way back when |
| And pile them into a great big heap |
| I watch them burn while I dance around the fire |
| Cause it’s a joyful thing to beat my wings |
| And let the caged up bird go free |
| Before I turn to dust to put my trust |
| In something bigger than me |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I’m a bird of passage |
| Only passing through this land |
| A boy born with a twinkle in his eye |
| And a tote bag in one hand |
| I’m a dreamer, a lover, I ain’t no other |
| Than a Gypsy rollin' along |
| Yea I came into this world |
| And I’ll go out with a song |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I’m a knight of the road |
| I’m a knight of the road |
