Laura Nyro - Walk the Dog and Light the Light (Song of the Road lyrics

Gonna make my livin'

Independence

Walkin' with the gypsies

They call it 'that ribbon of highway'

Gonna buy a house

Make it a home

Another mile

A shot of coffee

Take my sugar

On the phone -

"Child of mine

I'm headin' for the city line

Oo Walk the dog & light the light

I'll see you Sunday

'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite"

They make their livin'

Their independence

Dawn thru moonlight

On both sides

Of that ribbon of highway

A melting pot

They come from all over

Thru down south

Pacific rim

Northern snow

And east thru autumn

Are you fine?

My love

Mama's headin' for the city line

Oo Run the dog

Darlin' light the light

I'll see you Sunday

'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite

See you Sunday 'cause

I'm workin' on Saturday

Nite -

Operator

Take this precious dime

Precious time

Mama's headin' for the city

the city, the city line

Oo In my heart

I will light the light

And see you Sunday

'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite

See you Sunday

'Cause I'm singin' on Saturday
