Title : Road To Cairo
-----------------
A fella told me this here road leads to Cairo
I got to get me a ride
I got to go back, go back to my children
I got to see my little bride

I been travellin`, gone a long long time
Don`t know what I`ll find, scared of what I`ll find
But I just got to see them again

Hey, thanks for stoppin`, you headed down to Cairo
I wrecked my Lincoln in the Saint Jo
Why to little old Cairo, no special reason
Look up some folks I used to know

Hey, I`ve traveled some, I had my share of fun
And now that`s a life a man can live
Sure I`ve played and lost, but who minds the cost
You`ve got to take more than you give

Hey, you got another cigar, son, I sure like this-a car
Oh, from your daddy as a gift
Say on second thought there`s gifts I haven`t bought
Just drop me here, thanks for the lift

Yes, I`ve travelled some, yes, I`ve been a bum
Never have a dime for kin
I love to make my way, is more than I can say
To see my children poor as sin

I know this road leads straight into Cairo
Twenty-two miles straight ahead
I can`t, I can`t walk down this road to Cairo
They`re better thinkin` I`m dead

No, I just can`t walk down this road
No, I just can`t walk down this road
No, I just can`t walk down this road
No, I just can`t walk down this road
No, I just can`t walk down this road
No, I just can`t walk down this road
No, I just can`t walk down this road
No, I just can`t walk down this road
