Jimmy LaFave - The Open Road lyrics

Maybe, baby, I'm crazy But I'm down on my knees I want you to go Come go with me please This life you're living, honey You die day at a time There's something that calls Make up your mind Baby, let's watch all the rivers flow Baby, you gotta get young Before you get old Come on, come on Lighten up your load There ain't nothin' But you and me And the open road 'Cause we were born to wander We were not born to lose I must follow distant thunder Or I'll get the blues And the lightning that's flashing Reveals a dream in your eyes And the message it sends Is hard to deny Baby, let's watch all the rivers flow Baby, you gotta get young Before you get old Out in the distance Let the four winds blow There ain't nothin' But you and me And the open road It's a highway trance You've fallen under Love forever On a road that never ends Border town in Dakota Where the Missouri runs wide We'll cross the piggyback bridge Reach the other side Listen to the ghost dance In the valley of gold Where the ones who understand Respect the buffalo Baby, let's watch all the rivers flow Baby, you gotta get young Before you get old Come on, come on Lighten up your load There ain't nothin' But you and me And the open road The open road Goodbye, baby, I'm gone
