Ribbon of concrete stretching out far before me. Ribbon of concrete stretching back far behind. I'm rattling down round the southern parts of Texas. With that Oklahoma woman on my mind.
I gotta get up, I gotta get goin'. Rain or shine, sleetin' or snowin'. Nothing can stop me, stop me, stop my loving you. Wander through woods, climb a high mountain.
Every town. Has its ups and downs. Sometimes the ups. Outnumber the downs. But not in Nottingham. I'm inclined to believe. If we weren't so down. We'd up and leave.
Well we're tailor-made, for each other babe. We're so much in love with each other. We're so much inclined to spend all our time. With nobody else but each other.
He's been trying for so long he's lost all track of time. Inviting her to extensive conversation, expensive food and wine. Planning secret rendezvous but he's the only one that there.
Turn it down, don't let them know don't give it away. They're talking to me, it's not normal on the airwaves. Something new, the voices are hushed and it's captured the minds of our youth..
Train I ride. sixteen coaches long. Train I ride. sixteen coaches long. Well that long black train's got my baby and gone. . Train, train. Comin' round the bend.
It didn't take long to find it out. You're gone, I'm done, you're leaving me flat. I don't mind thinking what it would be, I know, it's easy to see. What I needed was a new direction.
My uncle used to love but she died. A chicken ain't chicken 'til he's licken good and fried. Keep on the sunny side. My uncle used to love me but she died.

She's around when she needs someone. She's around when she's looking for fun. But when I'm down that's when she's on the run, playing the field. . It's a game, a game she plays with me,.
You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah. We didn't find it there, so we moved on. Then you went with me to Alabama, things look good in Birmingham.
We could give our lives some loneliness. While we waste away. And we could share affection. Like two lonely hearts at play. . I'd say we found a better way.
Sometimes my mem'ries let me hold and kiss you. But that's just lending me the things I live without. And if it's my fault that I can't really hold you.
Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide. And I got a need for going some place. And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride.
Well the moon is high and so am I. The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon. And I can tell you're mad at me. There you stand, telling me goodbye.
Movin' all around movin' all around won't you settle down in this old town. On the move honey that's my groove travel everywhere breathing in the air.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge. And headin' for the trains. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down. Just before it rained. Took us all the way to New Orleans.
Travelling around and missing you gets hold (old). Think about you almost all the time. Wishing I had your sweet hand to hold. Loving you is always on my mind.
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies. Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies. Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying.
