words and music by Arlo Guthrie



Truth is you've been waiting so long

You're ripe and so insane

Can the tentacles of your mind stop the pain



How long will you sit there wondering

What's happening to your heart

Can't you fell the love surround you - That's a start



CHORUS:

I'll take to the road in a little while

Under cover of night

You come or you stay

Whatever seems right



I ain't looking for friends or lovers

Ain't looking for a pot of gold

Had it all when I was younger - It got old



Who will leave this world of sorrow

Who will die to all the fears

Kowning I'll be gone tommorow - Gone for years



CHORUS



Somewhere the sun's just rising

And the road comes in to view

There's a wanderer freed from dying - Could be you



Who will pay the price for freedom

Learn the disciplines of the road

Many tried but few succeed - So I'm told
