Truckin'
[ti:truckin']
[ar:Grateful Dead]
[00:12.239] Truckin'got my chips cashed in.Keep truckin',like the do-dah man
[00:19.755] Together,more or less in line,just keep truckin'on.
[00:35.545] Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street.
[00:39.556] Chicago,New York,Detroit and it's all on the same street.
[00:43.10] Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
[00:47.307] Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.
[00:50.914] Dallas,got a soft machine;Houston,too close to New Orleans;
[00:58.632] New York's got the ways and means;but just won't let you be,oh no.
[01:14.630] Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love,
[01:17.524] Most of the time they're sittin'and cryin'at home.
[01:21.334] One of these days they know they better get goin'
[01:25.244] Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.
[01:29.01] Truckin',like the do-dah man.Once told me ";You've got to play your hand";
[01:36.670] Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime,if you don't lay'em down,
[01:51.754] Sometimes the light's all shinin'on me;
[01:58.658] Other times I can barely see.
[02:05.159] Lately it occurs to me What a long,strange trip it's been.
[02:23.278] What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
[02:26.732] She lost her sparkle,you know she isn't the same
[02:30.595] Livin'on reds,vitamin C,and cocaine,
[02:32.929] All a friend can say is ";Ain't it a shame?";
[02:38.211] Truckin',up to Buffalo.Been thinkin',you got to mellow slow
[02:45.676] Takes time,you pick a place to go,and just keep truckin'on.
[03:00.759] Sittin'and starin'out of the hotel window.
[03:04.517] Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
[03:08.224] I'd like to get some sleep before I travel,
[03:11.931] But if you got a warrant,I guess you're gonna come in.
[03:15.944] Busted,down on Bourbon Street,Set up,like a bowlin'pin.
[03:23.357] Knocked down,it get's to wearin'thin.They just won't let you be,oh no.
[03:39.49] You're sick of hangin'around and you'd like to travel;
[03:41.640] Get tired of travelin'and you want to settle down.
[03:45.855] I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin',
[03:49.612] Get out of the door and light out and look all around.
[03:53.523] Sometimes the light's all shinin'on me;
[04:00.173] Other times I can barely see.
[04:06.371] Lately it occurs to me What a long,strange trip it's been.
[04:24.399] Truckin',I'm a goin'home.Whoa whoa baby,back where I belong,
[04:30.371] Back home,sit down and patch my bones,and get back truckin'on.
[04:56.270] Hey now get back truckin'home.
