Road Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

Back home the family's eatin' dinner 

There's a fire in the fireside warm and bright 

But I won't be there today 'cause I've got a debt to pay 

And they don't let black sheep stray from the road 

No they don't let black sheep stray from the road 

My throat is out crying for water Lord 

That wind is blowing cold 

That guard is watching me like a hawk up in the tree 

And I'm longing to be free from the road 

Yes, I'm longing to be free from the road 

Every bone inside my body's aching 

And that guard don't care if I live or die 

He told me yesterday son don't try to get away
