1969 lyrics

one foot on the train
and one foot on the road
I headed out west
where I thought I should go

I didn't look back
into the sun
I was ready and set
to run run run

tomorrow aint here
yesterday is gone
facing the sunset
back to the dawn

waking in the cornfield
back on the trail
walking the hills
and riding the rails

the women were kind
the women were rough
I couldn't stop now
I couldn't get enough

love love is only a moment
life life is just for a time
a heart a heart is for giving
the road the road is mine

don't cry for me
I gotta pack
and out the door
I won't be back

somewhere in Ohio
the cops had me beat
said don't let us catch you
out on the street

the hippies were naked
and swam in the pond
I stayed for a second
and then I was gone

o America
how beautiful thou art
every single day
every single part

this is my country
this is my soul
this is the fire
beyond my control

night solitude night
bring me the light
of billions of stars
stars stars stars

dawn holy dawn
show the road
and I'll move on
on on on

on on on
on on on

sailing through the mountains
at 90 miles per hour
laughing hysterical
and drunk drunk with power

the valley below
hundreds of miles across
the storm blew the clouds
the tempest was tossed

another range of mountains
when will it ever end
the big trees and redwoods
around the next bend

and finally the ocean
I jumped in and swam
and just for a moment
I knew who I am
