| Truckin' - got my chips cashed in
|
| Keep Truckin' - like the doodah man
|
| Together — more or less in line
|
| Just keep truckin' on
|
| Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
|
| Chicago, New York, Detroit, it’s all the same street
|
| Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
|
| Hangin' it up and see what tomorrow brings
|
| Dallas — got a soft machine
|
| Houston — too close to New Orleans
|
| New York — got the ways and means
|
| But just won’t let you be
|
| Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of True Love
|
| Most of the time they’re sittin' and cryin' at home
|
| One of these days they know they gotta get goin'
|
| Out of the door and down to the street all alone
|
| Truckin' - like the doodah man
|
| Once told me you got to play your hand
|
| Sometimes — the cards ain’t worth a damn
|
| If you don’t lay 'em 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
|
| Hey, 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 cocaine
|
| All a friend can say is «Ain't it a shame»
|
| Truckin' - up to Buffalo
|
| Been thinkin' - you got to mellow slow
|
| Take time — you pick a place to go
|
| And just keep truckin' on
|
| Sitting and staring out of a hotel window
|
| Got a tip they’re kicking the door in again
|
| I’d like to get some sleep before I travel
|
| But 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 gets to wearing thin
|
| They just won’t let you be
|
| You’re sick of hanging around and you’d like to travel
|
| Get tired of traveling, you’d like to settle down
|
| I guess they can’t revoke your soul for trying
|
| Get out of the door — 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
|
| Truckin' - I’m a-goin' home
|
| Whoa — oh, baby, back where I belong
|
| Back home — sit down and patch my bones
|
| And get back truckin' on |
