I've been wasting my time. I don't need no more rain. I've been gone for so long. I think the devil lost my name. . I took a little ride. On a heartache highway.
Take me to see the voodoo queen. Let her put a spell on me. A little bit of change will ease my pain. Gonna set a young man free. . 'Cause I've been down through your hometown.
Take it easy mama. Lay your head down. Hold on to my lovin. We're both gonna need it now. Take it easy mama. Lay your head down. Rest your head on my shoulder.
Well sunshine. Fall on me. Won't you tell me. When the hour is late. Tell them old crows. Want to fly away. Tell the darkness. That you ain't no slave.
Here I go again straight up out the motel. Hock my guitar out of a pawn shop jail. If I quit, I'm just rolling the dice. Couldn't pass up the red beans and rice singin'.
When I die, Lord. Oh, won't You put my soul up on a train. Won't You send it southbound. Give a cool blues man name. . 'Cause I've been lost on them back roads.
Fallin' down on me, before you taste the rage. Burn me down, I'm a book, not a page. Lend me your dream, here's a wing for my pay. When the shoe's on the other foot, you ain't got much to say.
If I had the chance to hold you again. In my crying eyes. I would take a chance and fall in love with you. But I know, I couldn't have one more dance.
I've been payin' them here roadhouse dues. Since I was a young boy. Driftin' and a-ramblin' with my old man searchin'. 'Round for that West Texas oil.
Whoa, sittin' at a truck stop. With my cowboy boots and my guitar. Now I'm livin' on a tip box. And it was made for cigars. . Long way from Georgia. Long way from Georgia.
Hey hey, what can you say. You might head out to California. Think you got you something to say. Who knows, who cares anyway. . Oh no, don't make a stand.
When I was young my daddy said, Son. Never be ashamed of where your from. There's nothin wrong with your last name. Don't be lookin for people to blame.
An empty sack of dust or just a box of bones. Well, call me what you will, son. My name's Travelin' Jones. And I search for the fire. Stumbled upon with a precious desire.
For what it's worth. A nickels just a nickel son. Your pleasure becomes your pain. It's gonna hurt. Your out on the road. Your just an old horse walking alone.
If you ever see me walking down the side of the road. Do you ever stop and wonder why. Would you think it's lost that I paid the cost. Stop and give a poor boy a ride.
I'ma gettin' so tired of what you say. You're lettin' this whole world go down the drain. I'm gonna stand up and say my name. Cause I'ma gettin' tired of your endless ways.
Well, I'm a homeless man. With my thumb in the wind. I sure miss my kin but then again. I'm on the road with a song for you. . I took a step, I lost a bet.
Don't wait for me. 'Cause I'll be running late. By the flowers upon my grave. Don't wait for me. 'Cause I'll be coming home. Don't wait for me. Long by the telephone.
Well, I? ve been workin? in the goddamn sun. With just for a dollar a day. Been workin? for a dollar a day. I? ve been workin? for dollar a day. . Man, I never understood why all my money.
Let your mamma's cry. When the trains roll at night. Let the wildfires fly. With the soul of child. . When the day is done. I was born a bad man's son.
