words and music by Arlo Guthrie
|
|
Not so long ago I set out on this road
|
With my friends and my companions by my side
|
And I think of you wherever I do go
|
I'm a rambler, I ain't hard to satisfy.
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Won't be long till I am home again with you
|
Just a few more miles to go
|
Won't be long till I can get back on my own
|
Won't be long till I can spend my time with you
|
|
In the airport I'm standing in a line
|
Search my pockets, check me out and I'm alright
|
It's not hard but it ain't easy all the time
|
To be in some other town most every night
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Oh, I miss the singing from porch banjo nights
|
And when friends come by to pass the time away
|
And when the winds that chill the Bershires in the night
|
Heading east through Massachusetts toward the bay.
|
