文本歌词

Composer：David Thomas Ackles
A fella told me
This here road will leads into Cairo
I've got to get me a ride
I've got to go back
Go back to my children
I got to see my little my bride
I've been traveling
Gone a long long time
Don't know what I'll find
Scared of what I'll find
But I just got to see them again
Hey thanks for stopping
Are you headed down to Cairo
I wrecked my Lincoln in St Joe
Well to little old Cairo
Oh no special reason
Look up some folks I used to know
Me I traveled some
Had my share of fun
Now just see a man for life
That I choose from livin'
Sure I've played the loss
But who line for talk
You've got to take more to more
Than you give
Hey you gonna try your cigar
Ooh that sure like this car
Oh from your daddy
As a gift
Say on second thought
There's gifts I haven't bought
You can drop me here
Thanks for the lift
Yes I've traveled some
Yes I've been a bum
I never have a dime for gin
I left to make my own way
For here and I'm can't stay
Just to see my children poor as sin
I know this road
I know this road
It leads straight into Cairo
Twenty twenty two miles
Straight ahead
But I can't I can't
Walk down this road to Cairo
They're better thinking I'm dead
And I've been thinking
I'm dying
I've been traveling
Gone on a long long time
Dunno what I'll find
Scared of what I'd find
But I can't
No I can't
Walk down this
Road
I walk down to the road
No I walk down on love with you
Ooooh
You
You gonna stay with me oooh
