Lyrics
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 its 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
