Truckin'

Trucking got my chips cashed in

Keep trucking like the do Dah man

Together more or less in line

Just keep trucking on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out

On main street

Chicago New York

Detroit and it's all on the same street

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream

Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Dallas got a soft machine

Houston too close to New Orleans

New York's got the ways and means

But just won't let you be

Most of the cats that you meet

On the streets speak of true love

Most of the time they're sitting and crying at home

One of these days they know they better get going

Out of the door and down on the streets all alone

All around

Trucking like the do Dah man

Once told me you've got to play your hand

Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime

If you don't lay them down

Sometimes the light's all shining on me

Other times I can barely see

Lately it occurs to me what a long

Strange trip it's been

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane

She lost her sparkle

You know she isn't the same

Living on reds vitamin c and *******

All a friend can say is ain't it a shame

Say is ain't it a shame

Trucking up to buffalo

Been thinking you got to mellow slow

Takes time you pick a place to go

And just keep trucking on

Sitting and staring out of the hotel window

Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again

I'd like to get some sleep before I travel

If you got a warrant

I guess you're gonna come in

Busted down on bourbon street set up

Like a bowling pin

Knocked down

It get's to wearing thin

They just won't let you be

You're hanging around

And like to travel

Get traveling

And you want to settle down

I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying

Get out of the door

And light out and look all around

Sometimes the light's all shining on me

Other times I can barely see

Lately it occurs to me what a long

Strange trip it's been

Trucking I'm a going home

Whoa whoa baby back where I belong

Back home sit down and patch my bones

And get back trucking on
