I hit the road and it feels alright
Drive the whole day and all the way across the lonesome night
Feel the rumble keep from crossing a line
God willing and the river don't rise I'll be
Tuned up and on time tonight in
New York, New York
Tell me what all of
Tell me what all of it's for
With any luck these wheels will take me home again
Roll the long way and all the way up the Great Lake side
Cool air it smells of pine
God willing and the river don't rise I'll be
Tuned up and on time tonight in
Lansing, Michigan
Sing me to sleep
Sing me off to sleep again
Head blurry but the dreams are clear
Mississippi she's a-drawing near
24 East on the highway sign
24 hours and I'm down the line
God willing and the river don't rise I'll be
Tuned up and on time tonight in
Nashville, Tennessee
Leave an open door
Leave an open door for me
Oh Nashville, Tennessee
Won't you leave an open door
Leave an open door for me?
