LYRICS
Highway Song – James Taylor

Father, let us build a boat and sail away
There’s nothing for you here
And brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea
It’s been done before
I’m thinking ’bout a broken heart
I’m talking ’bout the break of dawn
You love me while I’m here
Then you can miss me when I’m gone
Sweet misunderstanding
Won’t you leave a poor boy alone
I’m the one-eyed seed of a tumbleweed
In the belly of a rolling stone

- Chorus -

Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah
Back on the road again
I had a little woman in Memphis
She wanted to be my bride
She said, settle on down, traveling man
You can stay right by my side
I tried so hard to please her
But I couldn’t hold out too long
‘Cause one Saturday night I was laying in bed
And I heard that highway song

- Chorus -

Now one of these days that highway song will lose its appeal to me
I’m gonna settle on down like a natural born man
I’m gonna live my life naturally (Free and easy)
Until that day the thunder’s gonna roll
And I notice there’s a sign of rain
So I grab my bags and I pack my clothes
And I’m back on the road again

- Chorus -

I’m thinking ’bout a broken heart
I been talking ’bout the break of dawn
You loved me while I’m here
and you can miss me when I’m gone
And I said sweet misunderstanding
Won’t you leave a poor boy alone
‘Cause I’m the one-eyed seed of a tumbleweed
In the belly of a rolling stone

- Chorus -

Here I am again
Holiday Inn
Same old four walls again
Gee, but it’s fine to be back home again (whoa, now)
Say, Holiday Inn, I’m on the road again
