John Stewart - Road Away lyrics

Well he left his home in San Jose He was just a boy of nine And he'd only gone a mile to find He didn't have a dime He didn't have a dime He said, "Mamma have you got a dollar? Oh, Mamma when you're off the phone." But Mamma kept talkin' And the boy kept walkin' Without a road of his own Oh, no, no, no Mamma don't you know You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own, your own You got a road of your own Well he came to the Mission San Luis Rey Lupe Jones was doing well She owned a Ford and served the Lord And rang the mission bell Rang the mission bell She turned him on And she turned him down And she turned him over slowly Stay with me and I'll fill your needs The boy he answered lowly "No, no, no Lupe don't you know" You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own, your own You got a road of your own You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own, your own You got a road of your own You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own You're takin' my road away Oh, road away You got a road of your own, your own You got a road of your own
