words and music by Arlo Guthrie
|
|
Coming down the highway, running like a wind
|
Gonna beat the sunset to the coast and back again
|
Moving thru the shadows, almost going blind
|
Living like a Iegend before my time
|
|
If the road don't kill me, baby, I'll see you in the spring
|
Making up for lost time between us seems like everything
|
If I can make it home aIright, you know l'll treat you fine
|
Living like a Iegend before my time
|
|
CHORUS:
|
I know it wasn't easy for you, baby
|
With your man out on the road
|
So I'll be coming home tomorrow
|
To try to help you carry the load
|
|
I'm running out of highways and bridges to burn
|
This kind of living is taking its toll on what I've learned
|
You know it ain't easy leaving you behind
|
Living like a Iegend before my time
|
|
But someday, baby, I'll be coming home to stay
|
Wrapped up in your warm love every night and every day
|
Oooh, I'm going out of my mind
|
Living like a Iegend before my time
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
l'll be getthg up early 'cause I know I'm coming home
|
I'm so tired of living this legend Iife alone
|
Kick off your shoes, babe, we'll drink a little wine
|
Forget about living like a legend before my time
|
|
Forget about living like a legend
|
Just forget about the road
|
So, look out for me, darling
|
On account of your man is coming home
|
