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' |
| Are you headed down to Cairo? |
| I wrecked my Lincoln in Saint Jo |
| Why to little old Cairo? |
| No special reason |
| Look up some folks I used to know |
| Me I travel some |
| Have my share of fun |
| Now that’s a life a man can live |
| Sure I’ve played and lost |
| But who minds the cost |
| You got to take more than you give |
| Hey you got another cigar? |
| Son I sure like this 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 gin |
| Left to make my way |
| Told her I can’t stay |
| To see my children poor as sin |
| I know this road |
| It 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 |
| I been travellin' |
| Gone a long long time |
| Don’t know what I’d find |
| Scared of what I’d find |
| I can’t I just can’t walk down this road |
