Truckin'

Trucking got my chips cashed in
Keep trucking like the do Dah man
Together more or less in line

Just keep trucking on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out
On main street

Chicago New York
Detroit and its all on the same street

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream

Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Dallas got a soft machine

Houston too close to New Orleans

New Yorks got the ways and means
But just wont let you be

Most of the cats that you meet
On the streets speak of true love

Most of the time theyre sitting and crying at home

One of these days they know they better get going

Out of the door and down on the streets all alone

All around
Trucking like the do Dah man

Once told me youve got to play your hand

Sometimes your cards aint worth a dime

If you dont lay them down

Sometimes the lights all shining on me

Other times I can barely see

Lately it occurs to me what a long
Strange trip its been

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane

She lost her sparkle
You know she isnt the same

Living on reds vitamin c and *******

All a friend can say is aint it a shame
Say is aint it a shame

Trucking up to buffalo
Been thinking you got to mellow slow
Takes time you pick a place to go
And just keep trucking on

Sitting and staring out of the hotel window

Got a tip theyre gonnakick the door in again

Id like to get some sleep before I travel

If you got a warrant
I guess youre gonna come in

Busted down on bourbon street set up

Like a bowling pin
Knocked down
It gets to wearing thin
They just wont let you be

Youre hanging around
And like to travel

Get traveling
And you want to settle down

I guess they cant revoke your soul for trying

Get out of the door
And light out and look all around
Sometimes the lights all shining on me

Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me what a long
Strange trip its been

Trucking Im a going home
Whoa whoa baby back where I belong
Back home sit down and patch my bones
And get back trucking on
