Noel "Paul" Stookey - Been On The Road Too Long lyrics

Down in Kansas in 'sixty-four I was up in the gym to play I mean to talk while my head took a walk I did it most every day Anyway, ninety-eight hundred pairs of eyes Were waiting for the clown to fall I began to remember that dark December And the handwriting on the wall Don't you know that I've been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too long I was a bashful boy I was an only child except for a friend or two I found out quick that a clever trick Could make me more friends than you I came up fast from the country I was so eager to please you see I found this rock in a popular role: "Most Likely Child To Be" And don't you know that I been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too long I'm thirty-two now And my woman had brought me A child to share You know the Holiday Inn gets under your skin When you're not supposed to be there The good Lord gave me some wisdom You know I got to put it right 'pack up my case, walk out of this place And get off the road tonight Don't you know that I been on road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too long Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too Been on the road too long
