Road to Cairo |
| A fella told me this here road leads to Cairo |
| I got to get me a ride |
| I got to go back, go back to my children |
| I got to see my little bride |
| I been travellin', gone a long long time |
| Don’t know what I’ll find, scared of what I’ll find |
| But I just got to see them again |
| Hey, thanks for stoppin', you headed down to Cairo |
| I wrecked my Lincoln in the Saint Jo |
| Why to little old Cairo, no special reason |
| Look up some folks I used to know |
| Hey, I’ve traveled some, I had my share of fun |
| And now that’s a life a man can live |
| Sure I’ve played and lost, but who minds the cost |
| You’ve got to take more than you give |
| Hey, you got another cigar, son, I sure like this-a car |
| Oh, from your daddy as a gift |
| Say on second thought there’s gifts I haven’t bought |
| Just drop me here, thanks for the lift |
| Yes, I’ve travelled some, yes, I’ve been a bum |
| Never have a dime for kin |
| I love to make my way, is more than I can say |
| To see my children poor as sin |
| I know this road leads straight into Cairo |
| Twenty-two miles straight ahead |
| I can’t, I can’t walk down this road to Cairo |
| They’re better thinkin' I’m dead |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
| No, I just can’t walk down this road |
