VERSE

Lazy, weeping willow

Swaying by a stream

Lay your body easy down

And drift into a dream

Way down south in Dixie

How long has it been?

You caught that ride to Wichita

And you ain't been back again



CHORUS

Just-a get that vagabond feeling

Get it on the road

Get it like Bo Diddley does

And get it like Tom Joad

And get it like a river does

Flowin' to the sea

(And) get it like a tumbleweed

Get it like you're free



VERSE

San Francisco summer

Foghorns in the night

Locked inside that life of yours

Where nothin' works out right

Standing by the highway

People passing by

Your salty tears welled up inside

And you can't even cry



(REPEAT CHORUS)

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)



VERSE

You got no close companions

No one knows you well

Up all night with strangers

In a Baltimore hotel

No one knows your mama

Now one knows your pa

And no one knows the life you left

In Batesville, Arkansas



(REPEAT CHORUS)
