Heading out on my way to nowhere
Just a traveling man
Hitching rides along the highway
From whoever I can
Gotta stop someplace somewhere
And put some leather on my shoes
They’re the only pair that get me there
Any horizon that I choose
I know when the cold wind blows
My coat will keep me warm
I’ve got no woman’s love
To call my own
I saw you lying there
A cast-off from another man
So I picked you up took you home
And home is on my back
Lonely hobo Read more…
Everything ’round them is spinning and turnin’
But they can’t understand
People around me just never stop learnin’
About the things that I’ve planned
I’ve got a way, way of my own
Just look around them. They better start thinkin’
People will lend a hand
They better watch it or else they’ll start sinkin’
With their heads in the sand
I’ve got a way, way of my own
Come back, when you’ve time for the world
You must think they’d don’t need anyone, no no
Come back, when Read more…
ohnny was a pusher on the east side
Pushing anything to be pushed
Laid something on a guy who didn’t get high
Didn’t know the guy was a hood
Wheeling-dealing johnny got frightened
Thought the best place was out of town
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
Of his chevy put his foot flat down
Look out johnny there’s a monkey on your back
You better beware there johnny
’cause the monkey’s packin’ Read more…
Lucy you’re a floozy
You ain’t choosy
You’ve been flashing those big blue eyes
At the other guys
Don’t be surprised
If you don’t end up with a
Baby cool it, don’t over do it
Always have something left as your standby
Lucy baby keep me in mind
You’re so reckless
A diamond necklace
Ain’t no substitute for how you feel
Such a steal
Lucy baby let’s make it real
Red light outa sight is what you’re saying
You don’t really think that’s true
No help needed you’re displaying
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Read more…
There never was a man so doggone mean
I wore only black and my eyes were green
And I can tell you now that I’m very old
I’d kill any man for a piece of gold
Oh what a life I’ve led
I’ve been a real bad man and I oughta be dead
Oh what a life I’ve led
I’ve been real mean man, full of cheating and lying
Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying
Yes I did
I rode Read more…
Keep away from that hard-looking woman
Don’t be fooled by her crocodile smile
She uses charm like a witch casting bad spells
You can’t see what i can see for miles
I know she’ll leave you with no self-respect
Builds you up only to destroy you
It’ll happen at a time you won’t expect
Don’t let her leave you ‘reject’
She bites
Entice, so nice, but you have to pay the price
She bites
She’ll take away everything that you’ve got
Leaving you cold when you think things Read more…
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We’ll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
If I’m laden at all
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It’s a long, long Read more…
Oh, don’t it hurt deep inside
To see someone do something to her
Oh, don’t it pain to see someone cry
Oh, especially when someone is her
Silence is golden but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep
Even though there is nowhere to go
How could se tell, he deceived her so well
Pity she’ll be the last one to know
Silence is golden but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my Read more…
Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again
The distant past so far behind and I hope there hasn’t been many changes
‘cos I haven’t seen my island for such a long time
Oh oh oh oh, I want to breathe the air that’s free
Oh oh oh oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet
And the sun on my face, yeah
Oh oh oh oh Read more…
