| [00:12.45] |
Truckin' got my chips cashed in. |
| [00:15.90] |
Keep truckin', like the do-dah man |
| [00:20.07] |
Together, more or less in line, |
| [00:23.97] |
just keep truckin' on. |
| [00:28.88] |
|
| [00:35.76] |
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street. |
| [00:39.50] |
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street. |
| [00:43.38] |
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream |
| [00:47.38] |
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings. |
| [00:49.78] |
|
| [00:51.29] |
Dallas, got a soft machine; |
| [00:55.01] |
Houston, too close to New Orleans; |
| [00:58.83] |
New York's got the ways and means; |
| [01:02.67] |
but just won't let you be, oh no. |
| [01:07.57] |
|
| [01:14.21] |
Most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love, |
| [01:17.85] |
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home. |
| [01:21.70] |
One of these days they know they better get goin' |
| [01:25.54] |
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone. |
| [01:28.34] |
|
| [01:29.39] |
Truckin', like the do-dah man. |
| [01:33.19] |
Once told me "You've got to play your hand" |
| [01:36.98] |
Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, |
| [01:40.79] |
if you don't lay'em down, |
| [01:45.06] |
|
| [01:52.22] |
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; |
| [01:59.02] |
Other times I can barely see. |
| [02:05.58] |
Lately it occurs to me |
| [02:11.80] |
What a long, strange trip it's been. |
| [02:17.95] |
|
| [02:23.63] |
What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? |
| [02:27.09] |
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same |
| [02:30.88] |
Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine, |
| [02:34.72] |
All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?" |
| [02:37.91] |
|
| [02:38.73] |
Truckin', up to Buffalo. |
| [02:42.15] |
Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow |
| [02:46.00] |
Takes time, you pick a place to go, |
| [02:49.79] |
and just keep truckin' on. |
| [02:54.21] |
|
| [03:01.16] |
Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window. |
| [03:05.02] |
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again |
| [03:08.50] |
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel, |
| [03:12.33] |
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in. |
| [03:15.42] |
|
| [03:16.43] |
Busted, down on Bourbon Street, |
| [03:19.95] |
Set up, like a bowlin' pin. |
| [03:23.79] |
Knocked down, it get's to wearin' thin. |
| [03:27.44] |
They just won't let you be |
| [03:32.16] |
|
| [03:38.79] |
You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel; |
| [03:42.53] |
Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down. |
| [03:46.19] |
I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin', |
| [03:49.94] |
Get out of the door and light out and look all around. |
| [03:52.95] |
|
| [03:53.85] |
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; |
| [04:00.37] |
Other times I can barely see. |
| [04:06.95] |
Lately it occurs to me |
| [04:13.15] |
What a long, strange trip it's been. |
| [04:19.75] |
|
| [04:24.72] |
Truckin', I'm a goin' home. |
| [04:28.41] |
Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong, |
| [04:32.22] |
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, |
| [04:35.78] |
and get back truckin' on. |
| [04:41.27] |
|
