Truckin` — текст песни (Dwight Yoakam)





(J. Garcia, B. Weir, P. Lesh, R. Hunter)

Truckin` - got my chips cashed in
Keep Truckin` - like the doodah man
Together - more or less in line
Just keep truckin` on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit, it`s all 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 you meet on the street 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 to the street all alone

Truckin` - like the doodah 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 shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it`s been

Hey, what in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn`t the same
Living 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
Take time - you pick a place to go
And just keep truckin` on

Sitting and staring out of a hotel window
Got a tip they`re kicking 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 bowling pin
Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin
They just won`t let you be

You`re sick of hanging around and you`d like to travel
Get tired of traveling, you`d like to settle down
I guess they can`t revoke your soul for trying
Get out of the door - light out and look all around

Sometimes the light`s all shining 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
Whoa - oh, baby, back where I belong
Back home - sit down and patch my bones
And get back truckin` on
