Been Too Long On the Road

Always look so good on the outside When you get to believin' it's true, then you know That you're on your way People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky You've got everything you want, but you don't Yet you dare not say Go downtown people runnin' around They climb slowly, draggin' you downtown Horns make a dent in your mind Plush rooms make a blindin' your eye to see, blindin' me Light, lovely light Won't you shine in my window? Love, precious love won't you fill every room? Been too long on the road Maybe cynic's veins are my life blood Maybe bitin' the hand that I feed so I'll try Try to understand, what it is that devours your freedom? Makes you drop what you used to hold in your head All the things you planned Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares Like the devil she does What comes ever into your mind Then gone, leavin' you with the coldest room, the oldest gloom Warm, won't you be Please be there in my winter Love, precious love, won't you come full circle? Been too long on the road How can I do this to myself? Have I taken leave of my senses? What kind of changes make a man? Want to tear down all his fences Whoa, I'd like to know Home, ever home How could I ever doubt you? Love, precious love, how could I live without you? Been too long on the road
