Laura Nyro - Walk the Dog and Light the Light (Song of the Road) lyrics

Gonna make my livin' Independence Workin' with the gypsies They call it 'that ribbon of highway' Gonna buy a house Make it a home Another mile A shot of coffee Take my sugar On the phone "Child of mine I'm headin' for the city line Ooh walk the dog And light the light I'll see you Sunday 'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday night" They make their livin' Their independence Dawn through moonlight On both sides Of that ribbon of highway A melting pot They come from all over Through down south Pacific rim Northern snow And east through autumn Are you fine? My love Mama's headin' for the city line Ooh run the dog Darlin', light the light I'll see you Sunday 'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday night See you Sunday 'cause I'm workin' on Saturday Night Operator Take this precious dime Precious time Mama's headed for the city The city, the city line Ooh in my heart I will light the light And see you Sunday 'Cause I'm workin' On Saturday night See you Sunday 'Cause I'm singin' On Saturday N-I-g-h-t
