On The Road Again
(Tom Rush)
[key of A]Well I locked my door as the sun went down
said goodbye to Boston town
You take Mass Turnpike to Route 15
gotta make it on down to the New York scene
Hummin' of the tires it sure is pretty
Think about the women in New York City
On the road againWell I can't stop more than just a few minutes
Maybe make love to you—hey hey hey
I'm on the road again
You take the Holland Tunnel to the Jersey Pike
Go rollin' out of Philly in the middle of the night
I'm on the road again
I was downtown DC runnin' all around town
tryin' to find a little lady, hit me when I'm down
Nobody answers, ain't anybody home
Gotta grab me a cab, get to Baltimo'
She got great long hair, big ol' smile,
great long legs that drive me wild, and hey!
I'm on the road againNow I can't stop more than just a few minutes, baby
tell you 'bout my love for you, hey hey hey!
I'm on the road again
I hate to go: I just can't stay—
gotta make it to Atlanta by the break of day, and then
Hey! I'm on the road again
I got the Georgia Patrol hot on my trail
Hit the Florida line movin' Special Air Mail
The Sunshine State it sure looks sweet
I put the Georgia Patrol back a-poundin' a beat
Gotta put her into overdrive, rollin' down the turnpike
Listen to the whistle o' the wind, feelin' just like HEY!
I'm on the road again.Now I can't stop more than just a few minutes,
baby, make love to you, hey hey hey
I'm on the road again
Miami women they sure are jive:
they get their man if it's dead or alive, and HEY!
I'm on the road again.Well, it's too many places, too many towns
Too many faces gonna drag me down
Believe I'll leave Chicago: I believe I'll roll
I'll go back down to Boston and rest my soul
I'm on a three-time ticket—movin' way too fast:
I gotta pull in a rest stop and eat and get gas
and then HEY! I'm on the road againNow I won't be stoppin' more than just a few minutes,
baby, make love to you, hey hey hey!
I'm on the road again
Got a woman that I'm lovin' I believe I'll leave
because I never been to Denver or the west coast either
and hey, on the road again
Hey hey hey!—I'm on the road again
