WAYLON JENNINGS - ROAD lyrics

rate me

Back home the family's eatin' dinner there's a fire in the fireside warm and bright

But I won't be there today cause I've got a debt to pay

And they don't let black sheep stray from the road

No they don't let black sheep stray from the road

My throat is out crying for water Lord that wind is blowing cold

That guard is watching me like a hawk up in the tree

And I'm longing to be free from the road yes I'm longing to be free from the road

Every bone inside my body's aching and that guard don't care if I live or die

He told me yesterday son don't try to get away

For I'll lay you down to stay by the road yes I'll lay you down to stay by the road
