One More Road

Baby let's take a ride tonight,

Just you and me and the dancehall light.

We'll ride out to Albuquerque and see

What’s waiting there for you and me.

All of our friends have left this town

And there ain't no reason to stay around

Unless you want to smoke weed and sit on the ground.

Honey it ain't for me.

Sometimes a whistling train will make me want to go.

Sometimes it's music playing on my radio.

Sometimes we gambled and the money never showed.

But everyplace we end up seems to lead to one more road

Let's ride on out to where the sand is white

And the moon is high on the windowlight

We'll watch while the nighttime see is pearled

And walk outside and sleep on the world.

When the sun comes up on are car so brown

You’ll look me up and I'll eye you down

And we'll be grateful to the bones we're not waking up

In the same old bed with the same old luck

Sometimes a whistling train is warning in advance

Sometimes it's music from another room by chance

Sometimes in spite of everything that we've endeared

The longer that we hang around the longer it gets weird.

Baby let's take a ride tonight

While the highway's got nobody in sight.

We'll pull off to the side if we get tired,

And we'll try to get fed or we'll try to get hired.

I've got no desire to run on forever

With a romanced hobo heart that tarries

But I’m going to take this slot machine by the lever

And hope that we pull down three big cherries.

I've walked the Spanish steps across the streets of Rome.

We sat and listened while the old brown river flowed.

All trying to find connection looking for a home,

But every place we end up seems to lead to one more road.

Sometimes a whistling train will make me want to go,

Sometimes it's music playing on my radio.

Oh baby doll in spite of all that we've endeared,

The longer that we hang around the longer it gets weird.
