Straight Ahead - Canned Heat

I ain't going down that big road by myself

Well I ain't going down that big road by myself

Well if I can't carry my baby ain't gonna carry nobody else

You know my mamma she done told me

And my papa also said

If you don't want to fall behind son

Then you'd better get ahead

So now I find my sugar sweetheart

And we're moving on down the road

You know I'm speeding way up front now

And I am doing as I was told

If you get lost and blow your mind well

Please be sure to keep your head

The man or men who find you maybe

They won't know you've been mislead

Well reach in the corner mama

Hand me my travelling shoes

Oh well you know we know the way

To raise away these big road blues

Now listen mama listen papa

Listen all of you that chose

To sit at home and watch and wonder

Why we wonder like we do

I'm giving you my warning

Lay of of our boots and shoes

I know you don't want us to travel

But we ain't got time to lose

You know I'm going to live my life

I'm going to live it every day

Though I may watch you older people

And the silly games you play

So that when I hit the road

Well I will not be mislead

I'm going around every corner

Till I see that it's straight ahead

And it's just like I told my rider

Since we met I'm flying higher

And the days ain't any longer

But they sure are getting wider

Now sometime I wonder

Will a matchbox hold my clothes

Well I ain't got so many matches

But I got a long way to go
