Lyrics Truckin'

Truckin' got my chips cashed in

Keep truckin' like the dooh dah man

Together more or less in line just keep truckin' on home

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street

Chicago New York Detroit and it's all on the same street

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream

Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Dallas got a soft machine

Houston too close to New Orleans

New York got the ways and means but just won't let you be

Most of the cats that you meet on the streets speak of true love

Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home

One of these days they know they gotta get goin'

Out of the door and down on the street all alone

Truckin' like the doo dah man once told me you got to play your hand

Sometimes the cards ain't worth a damn if you don't lay 'em down

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me

Other times I can barely see

Lately it occurs to me

What a long strange trip it's been

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane

She lost her sparkle you know she isn't the same

Livin' on reds vitamin C and cocaine

All a friend can say is ain't it a shame

Truckin' up to buffalo been thinkin' you got to mellow slow

Takes time you pick a place to go

And just keep truckin' on home

Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window

Got the tip they're gonna kick the door in again

I'd like to get some sleep before I travel

But if you got a warrant

I guess you're gonna come in

Busted down on Bourbon Street set up like a bowlin' pin

Knocked down it get to wearin' thin they just won't let you be

You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel

Get tired of travelin' you want to settle down

I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin'

Get out of the door and light out and look all around

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me other times I can barely see

Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been

Truckin' I'm a goin' home woah woah baby back where I belong

Back home sit down and patch my bones and get back truckin' on home
