Back on the Road Lyrics

I was walking down the street

Trying so damn hard to meet

That little someone good to me

I cast a line and caught her eye

One thousand times but set it loose

Like all the fools, I played the Blues

And headed back to my abode

But once you're gone, you've got to go

And get yourself back on the road

I was driving down the street

Going nowhere, gas was cheap

I turned the corner, what did I see

I hit the brakes, that's all it takes

Got out and walked right up to her

There's just no cure for her allure

She carries high her heavy load

But once you're gone, you've got to go

And get yourself back on the road

I was waiting down the street

In the place she said we'd meet

My mind was like out of control

No time to talk, she had to roll

She disappeared and took my heart

Where she did go I will never know

But once you're gone, you've got to go

And get yourself back on the road
