Knight Of The Road

(앨범: A Good Thing - 2009)

When mama pushed me thru daddy said my do
Was quite the shock
Claimed I cried like a dog baying at the moon
Slung my hips about, learned to twist and shout
Way before I could talk
And by the time I saw nine I started to croon

And then I beat those skins day out day in
I broke my poor mama's head
Could've fared better in school but I was cool
So I joined a band instead

I'm a knight of the road
I'm a bird of passage
Only passing through this land
A boy born with a twinkle in his eye
And a tote bag in one hand
I'm a dreamer, a lover, I ain't no other
Than a Gypsy rolling along
Yea I came into this world
And I'll go out with a song

I'm a knight of the road

I'm a knight of the road

I'm one side king, other side fool
I wear a straw hat for a crown
The long and lonesome road is home sweet home
So I hang my hat, wherever I'm at
A few loyal subjects gather round
And toss me a coin before it's time that I roam

I love to put on the dog, hog the spot
Lord gaveth me no shame
So if you don't much care for my general flair
Ain't none but heaven to blame

I'm a knight of the road
I'm a bird of passage
Only passing through this land
A boy born with a twinkle in his eye
And a tote bag in one hand
I'm a dreamer, a lover, I ain't no other
Than a Gypsy rolling along
Yea I came into this world
And I'll go out with a song

I'm a knight of the road

I took my castles in Spain, my fifteen minutes o' fame
And I buried it six feet deep
Along with a few choice pieces of attire
At times I take eight by tens from way back when
And pile them into a great big heap
I watch them burn while I dance around the fire

Cause it's a joyful thing to beat my wings
And let the caged up bird go free
Before I turn to dust to put my trust
In something bigger than me

I'm a knight of the road
I'm a bird of passage
Only passing through this land
A boy born with a twinkle in his eye
And a tote bag in one hand
I'm a dreamer, a lover, I ain't no other
Than a Gypsy rolling along
Yea I came into this world
And I'll go out with a song

I'm a knight of the road

I'm a knight of the road
I'm a knight of the road
