Sloan - ON THE ROAD AGAIN/TRANSONA FIVE lyrics

(Jones-Wilson/Canned Heat - Boogie With Canned Heat, 1968)

(Gene & Sadier/Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet, 1994)

Well, I'm so tired of cryin'

But I'm out on the road again

(I'm on the road again)

Well, I'm so tired of cryin'

But I'm out on the road again

(I'm on the road again)

I ain't got no woman

Just to call my special friend

Well, the first time I travelled out

In the rain and snow

(In the rain and snow)

Well, the first time I travelled out

In the rain and snow

(In the rain and snow)

I didn't have no payroll

Not even no place to go

Well, my dear mother left me

When I was quite young

(When I was quite young)

Well, my dear mother left me

When I was quite young

(When I was quite young)

She said, "Lord have mercy on my wicked son."

Take a hint from me, mama,

Please don't you cry no more

(Don't you cry no more)

Take a hint from me, mama,

Please don't you cry no more

(Don't you cry no more)

'Cause it's soon one morning

Down the road I'm going

-- Transona Five --

We can't avoid dying

Bursting through our barriers

They are one of the same

They are one of the same

Two inevitables

Two inevitables

We can't avoid dying

Bursting through our barriers

They are one of the same

They are one of the same

Two inevitables

Two inevitables

We can't avoid dying

Bursting through our barriers

They are one of the same

They are one of the same

Two inevitables

Two inevitables

We can't avoid dying

Bursting through our barriers

They are one of the same

They are one of the same

Two inevitables

Two inevitables

We can't avoid dying...
