The Road
I was born for leavin'
And I was made to break your heart
And I'd be lyin' if I didn't say
That running's always been the easy part
There ain't nothing I can tell you
That'll ease the pain of letting go
Hey, darlin' know you heard it all before
I ain't made to hang around and just grow old
Catch that train down to Memphis
Clear my mind in Tennessee
Catch myself thinking 'bout my life
And how the road is always waitin' there for me
How the road is always waitin' there for me
Never got along with my daddy
The real one I never knew
Ma got married for the third time, Lord
She's just so tired of looking 'round for someone new
He was nice until he wasn't
And I'd grown tired of running scared
Couldn't help her, said he loved her back
So I took off just to go anywhere
Catch that train down to Memphis
Clear my mind in Tennessee
Catch myself thinking 'bout my momma
And how the road has always taken care of me
How the road has always taken care of me
I'll be leaving in the morning
And I'll be gone before you know
Virginia, baby you've been good to me
But you've got to understand I have to go
Catch that train down to Memphis
Clear my mind in Tennessee
Catch myself thinking 'bout my life
And how the road is always waitin' there for me
How the road is always waitin' there for me
And I was made to break your heart
And I'd be lyin' if I didn't say
That running's always been the easy part
There ain't nothing I can tell you
That'll ease the pain of letting go
Hey, darlin' know you heard it all before
I ain't made to hang around and just grow old
Catch that train down to Memphis
Clear my mind in Tennessee
Catch myself thinking 'bout my life
And how the road is always waitin' there for me
How the road is always waitin' there for me
Never got along with my daddy
The real one I never knew
Ma got married for the third time, Lord
She's just so tired of looking 'round for someone new
He was nice until he wasn't
And I'd grown tired of running scared
Couldn't help her, said he loved her back
So I took off just to go anywhere
Catch that train down to Memphis
Clear my mind in Tennessee
Catch myself thinking 'bout my momma
And how the road has always taken care of me
How the road has always taken care of me
I'll be leaving in the morning
And I'll be gone before you know
Virginia, baby you've been good to me
But you've got to understand I have to go
Catch that train down to Memphis
Clear my mind in Tennessee
Catch myself thinking 'bout my life
And how the road is always waitin' there for me
How the road is always waitin' there for me
