To some highway Pebble Beach
Alabama’s just out of reach
Louisiana cemetery swamp
(Swamp!)
Montana on a mountain top
(On a mountain top!)
Mobile home
My mobile home
My mobile home
I’m going home
And when I wanna go home, I’m going mobile
Well, I’m gonna find a home
And we’ll see how it feels
Goin’ mobile
Keep me moving
I’m goin’ up the country
Baby don’t you want to go
I’m goin’ up the country
Baby don’t you want to go
I’m going to some place where I’ve never been before
Ooh, I’ve been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I’ve been to paradise, but I’ve never been to me…
Never Been to Me – Charlene
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains,
Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s all on 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’s got the ways and means
But just won’t let you be, oh no
Lying here in the darkness, I hear the sirens wail
Somebody’s going to emergency, somebody’s going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world, you’d better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York Minute (ooh)
Everything can change
I happen to like New York, I happen to love this town
I like the city air, I like to drink of it
The more I see New York, the more I think of it
I like the sight and the sound and even the stink of it
I happen to like New York
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares
And go downtown!
Sally don’t you go, don’t you go downtown
Sally don’t you go, don’t you go downtown
Saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to see your baby with another girl
Ruby, are you contemplating
Going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh, Ruby
Don’t take your love to town
They say, Ruby you’re like a song
You just don’t know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it’s you
Big old Ruby Red Dress
Wanders 'round the town
Talking to herself now
Sometimes sitting down
Don’t you get too close now
Ruby runs away
Poor old Ruby Red Dress
Born on a sorry day
I can hear her say
Now I love this girl I said-a Ruby is her name
Believe me, now
When this girl looks at me she just sets my soul aflame
Don’t ya know?
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, I got some hugs and-a kisses, too
Yeah and now I’m gonna give-a them all to you
Now, listen, now Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
Gonna get you sometime, Ruby
You’ve painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh, Ruby, don’t take your love to town
Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town. Kenny Rogers
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still, I’m gonna miss you
I’m missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I’m missing you
Tell me why the road turns
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
Maybe somewhere down the road away (The end of the line)
You’ll think of me and wonder where I am these days (The end of the line, of the line)
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays (The end of the line)
Purple haze
