On The Road
Sitting in the dark, all by myself
September soon is on the shelf
It is one of those evenings, one of those nights
You sit outside without a light
Saturday is coming to an end
Im at a party with a friend
People are laughing, music streaming
Out from the windows, and I am dreaming
of
Better days
Happy-go-lucky days
Easy living days
No lickety-splitly days
My mama told me to be a good boy
To be kind and not to be coy
My daddy taught me to sit down to my work
To settle down and not be a burk
Slow on the uptake, I had the best tutors
Salute to Jimi, to Tom and the crooners
I smoke my calumet alone in the dark
My ship is sailing, it is time to embark
And live the
Better days...
Shiver in the morning, shiver in the night
Withstand the light of day I might
My soul is trembling like a silver wound string
I quake as I start to sing
Sing about
Better days....
