|
And by the time that she gets home |
|
She'll realize that I am gone |
|
I'll be sitting in a back bar drinkin' |
|
Drinking to my friends and drinking to my foes |
|
For both keep a young heart moving |
|
It's good to be on the trail from where my heart set sail |
|
Puttin' anchor down for friends and good beer |
|
So I'll have another one then I'll be moving on |
|
It's good to be on the road back home again, again |
|
And by the time that he arrives, he will read, I have lied |
|
He'll go drinking to his friends and to his foes |
|
But drinking in the devil that tears one apart |
|
Leaving memories of what should have been and wasn't |
|
Son Petit business in Tokyo Town |
|
Italy for the apples to where my heart is now |
|
Now it's giddy up or whoa and I'm afraid |
|
It's good to be back on the road home |
|
It's good to be on the road back, home again, again |
|
I swear, I meant to leave Chattanooga, but |
|
But I had another one and I realized what I'd gone |
|
And I realized what I'd done |
|
I need to be on the first bus back into her arms |
|
It's good to be on the road, back home |
|
Too many nights in dirty London Town |
|
Italy for the apples to where my heart is now |
|
For I've lost myself, searchin' for what I ain't |
|
It's good to be on the road, back home again |
|
Leave Chattanooga, walk in to New York City |
|
Aeroplane down to Nippon ground |
|
Meets some friends in Tokyo Town |
|
Across to West Maluva, showboat to West Malay |
|
Leave my foes to their woes, sometimes, that's how it goes |
|
It's good to be on the road, back home again |
