Back on the Highway Another morning feeling tired & worn,
might’ve had one too many last night But life on the road’s not the heaviest
load if you know how to play your cards right It seems famine or feast is the name of
the beast, Gotta save for when pickings get slim When opportunity knocks you can replenish
your stocks then it’s Back on the highway again I know a woman in my home town who's as
crazy as crazy can be She's not the greatest at loving – but she
gives away samples for free Well I was riding through town with the
sun going down, caught her silhouette there at the light A quick bump & grind with our limbs
intertwined an I was Back on the highway that night Got no call for religion – saying death
is the wages of sin Because, as far as I know, we've just
one kick at this show It's near over before we begin I don't care how much that you've got
to spend; there are some things that money can't right You choices are death or dishonour – you won't buy your way out of this fight Because a sinner's a saint with a new
coat of paint, but the same basic person within So kindly fill up my glass, tonight
it's strictly first class, 'til it's Back on the highway again © Richard Goldman 2017
