Highway Song

Highway Song (2019 Remaster) - James Taylor (詹姆斯·泰勒)

Father

Let us build a boat and sail away

There's nothing for you here

Brother let us throw our lot out upon the sea

It's been done before

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 miss understanding

Won't you leave a poor boy alone

I'm the one eyed seed of a tumbleweed

In the belly of a rolling stone

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 couldn't hold out too long

'Cause one saturday night I was laying in bed

And I heard that highway song

Back on the highway yeah yeah yeah

Back on the road again

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

Back on the highway yeah yeah yeah

Back on the road again

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

Back on the highway yeah yeah yeah

Back on the road again

Here I am again

Holiday inn

Same old four walls again

Gee but it's fine to be back home again whoa now

Say holiday inn I'm on the road again
