Waylon Jennings - The Road lyrics

Back home the family's eatin' dinner There's a fire in the fireside warm and bright But I won't be there today 'cause I've got a debt to pay And they don't let black sheep stray from the road. No they don't let black sheep stray from the road. My throat is out crying for water Lord, that wind is blowing cold That guard is watching me like a hawk up in the tree And I'm longing to be free from the road Yes, I'm longing to be free from the road. Every bone inside my body's aching And that guard don't care if I live or die He told me yesterday son don't try to get away For I'll lay you down to stay by the road Yes, I'll lay you down to stay by the road...
