words and music by Arlo Guthrie Coming down the highway, running like a wind Gonna beat the sunset to the coast and back again Moving thru the shadows, almost going blind Living like a Iegend before my time If the road don't k** me, baby, I'll see you in the spring Making up for lost time between us seems like everything If I can make it home aIright, you know l'll treat you fine Living like a Iegend before my time CHORUS: I know it wasn't easy for you, baby With your man out on the road So I'll be coming home tomorrow To try to help you carry the load I'm running out of highways and bridges to burn This kind of living is taking its toll on what I've learned You know it ain't easy leaving you behind Living like a Iegend before my time But someday, baby, I'll be coming home to stay Wrapped up in your warm love every night and every day Oooh, I'm going out of my mind Living like a Iegend before my time CHORUS l'll be getthg up early 'cause I know I'm coming home I'm so tired of living this legend Iife alone Kick off your shoes, babe, we'll drink a little wine Forget about living like a legend before my time Forget about living like a legend Just forget about the road So, look out for me, darling On account of your man is coming home
