Highway Song — текст песни (James Taylor)

Father, let us build a boat and sail away

Theres nothing for you here

And brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea

Its been done before



Im thinking bout a broken heart

Im talking bout the break of dawn

You love me while Im here

Then you can miss me when Im gone

Sweet misunderstanding

Wont you leave a poor boy alone

Im 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 couldnt 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

Im gonna settle on down like a natural born man

Im gonna live my life naturally (free and easy)

Until that day the thunders gonna roll

And I notice theres a sign of rain

So I grab my bags and I pack my clothes

And Im back on the road again



- chorus -



Im thinking bout a broken heart

I been talking bout the break of dawn

You loved me while Im here

And you can miss me when Im gone

And I said sweet misunderstanding

Wont you leave a poor boy alone

cause Im 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 its fine to be back home again (whoa, now)

Say, holiday inn, Im on the road again
