Canned Heat - Straight Ahead Lyrics






I ain't going down that big road by myself
Well I ain't going down that big road by myself
Well, if I can't carry my baby, ain't gonna carry nobody else

You know my mamma she done told me
And my papa also said
If you don't want to fall behind, son
Then you'd better get ahead
So now I find my sugar sweetheart
And we're movin' on down the road
You know I'm speeding way up front now
And I am doin' as I was told

If you get lost and blow your mind, well
Please be sure to keep your head
The man or men who find you, maybe
They won't know you've been mislead
Well, reach in the corner, mama
Hand me my travellin' shoes
Oh well, you know we know the way
To raise away these big road blues

Now listen mama, listen papa
Listen all of you that chose
To sit at home and watch and wonder
Why we wonder like we do
I'm givin' you my warning
Lay of of our boots and shoes
I know you don't want us to travel
But we ain't got time to lose

You know, I'm going to live my life
I'm going to live it every day
Though I may watch you older people
And the silly games you play
So that when I hit the road
Well, I will not be mislead
I'm goin' around every corner
Till I see that it's straight ahead

And it's just like I told my rider
Since we met I'm flying higher
And the days ain't any longer
But they sure are gettin' wider
Now, sometime I wonder
Will a matchbox hold my clothes?
Well, I ain't got so many matches
But I got a long way to go
