Way down in the state of Georgia
Through the swamps and everglades
There's a hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Millers Cave
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down the eastern seaboard
I've got me diesel wound up and she's running like a never before
There's a speed zone ahead but all right, I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
I got ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm passing little white lines and my eyes are open wide
Just passed a Jimmy and a White, I've been passing everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Guys, these are great lyrics -- I'd love it if you'd identify! If you can.
....playin' music with my friends
I just can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
like a band of gypsies
We go down the highway
We're the best of friends....
Willie Nelson (of course)
On the road to Mandalay
Where the flying fishes play...
Miller's Cave was by Tommy Tucker
It's a mighty hard road
That my poor hands has hoed
- Pastures of Plenty, W. Guthrie
Well, i quoted She's Leaving Home from Sgt. Pepper's . . . this is by Big Bill Brunsey:
I've got the key
The key to the highway
I am bound to go
I'm gonna roam this highway
Till my dying day
When the moon peeks over the mountain
Honey, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Till my dying day
Well I'm walking down the highway
With my suitcase in my hand
Right now I'm ahavin trouble
Please don't take away my highway shoes
Well I been gambling so long I ain't got nothin left to lose
B Dylan, probably Bob Dylan's Blues
Walkin' through the rain
Thumbin' for a ride
On this old Kentucky backroad.
Finally got a ride, from a preacher man
Who asked me, "Where you bound
On such a cold, dark afternoon?"
As he listened, I explained
And he led me in a prayer that I'd find you.
This time I'm walkin to New orleans
I got my suitcase in my hand
Now ain't that a shame
I'll need two pair of shoes
When I get through walking these blues - Fats
You made me cry
When you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Aint that a shame
You're the one to blame
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you...
I got a feelin called the blu-ooh-u-who-whose,
Since my baby said good-bye.
And lord I don't know what I'll do-o-o-ooh
All I do is set and cry-hi-hi-hi-i.
I'd grown so used to her somehow.
Well I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome.
I got the love sick blues.
I got tears in my ears
from laying on my back
and crying over you.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
You're old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
I'm back in Baby's arms
How i missed those . . . lovin' arms
I'm back where i belon-ong
Back in Baby's arms . . .
the Patron Saint of Virginia, Patsy Cline
What'll I do
When you
Are far away
And I'm so blue,
What'll I do?
What'll I do
When I
Am wond'ring who
Is kissing you,
What'll I do?
What'll I do
With just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only
Dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll I do?
--Irving Berlin
why dont you do right some other men do
All I've got is a photograph
It reminds me you're not coming back
Anymore - Ringo
Do You really want to hurt me
