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)
