the road and i

will spend some time

it's very far

but she don't mind

her arms are long

she takes me in

she never asks me

where i've been



i long to hear the crickets cry

to see the sun in a southern sky ...



eight hundred miles to savannah

i wanna go i wanna go

eight hundred miles to savannah

i want i wanna go



the road is wise

and i am green

so many places

never seen

this city wind

gets bitter cold

i see my face

growin old



i long to ly on southern ground

where the sun's been pourin down ...



eight hundred miles to savannah

i wanna goi wanna go

eight hundred miles to savannah

i wanti wanna go



the road and i

will spend some time

it's very far

but she don't mind

her arms are long

she takes me in

she never asks me

where i've been



i'm gonna hear the crickets cry

gonna see that sun in a southern sky ...
