James Taylor - Highway Song lyrics

Fatherlet us build a boat and sail away

There's nothing for you here

And brotherlet 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 highwayyeahyeahyeah

Back on the road again

I had a little woman in memphis

She wanted to be my bride

She saidsettle on downtraveling 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 it's 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

Geebut it's fine to be back home again (whoanow)

Sayholiday innI'm on the road again
