Lyrics

I went to town and I hung around
Long enough for it to lay me down
I did not think I'd ever survive
You can only make ten dollars an hour
You can only tend to the roots of power
For just so long before you've got to take a ride
And Riley Riley why'd you wait so long
Your mama's crying in your daddy's arms
Baltimore ain't no place to be born
There's a lot to lose but a world to gain
I declare that I proclaim
It's just five more steps to the door
And I'm going away for to leave you
Don't cry baby don't make me blue
Can't you see that look in my eye
And there's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cause I just know
This road is right tonight
Well there are those who yield and those who rise
But you're never old in your mama's eyes
I never thought I'd feel so all alone
Well I've seen broken hearts and passing hours
Black run guts and water towers
I'll miss you honey but we'll talk on the telephone
And I'm going away for to leave you
Don't cry baby don't make me blue
Can't you see that look in my eye
Well there's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cause I just know
This road is right tonight
And I don't believe you loved me more
'Cause I don't believe you loved me for
What I done was wrong
Well I know what I done was wrong
It's too damn far to Oregon
My courage is spent my emotion she's gone
California never kept me warm
The Atlantic Ocean she's a mighty fine pond
And the Piedmont steppe and just beyond
The Blue Ridge Mountains calling me back home
And I'm going away for to leave you
Don't cry baby don't make me blue
Can't you see that look in my eye
And there's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cause I just know
This road is right tonight
There's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cause I just know
This road is right tonight
Well this road is right tonight
Well this road is right tonight
Well this road is right tonight
