James Taylor - Highway Song lyrics

Father, let us build a boat and sail away There's nothing for you here And brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea It's been done before I'm 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 misunderstanding Won't you leave a poor boy alone I'm the one eyed seed of a tumbleweed In the belly of a rolling stone (chorus) 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 - chorus - Now one of these days that highway song will lose its 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 - chorus - 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 - chorus - 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
