ETruckin got my chips cashed in
Keep trAuckin, like the do-dah-man
ToBgether, more or less in line
AJust keep truckin on. E
EArrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.
EDallas, got a soft machine
AHouston, too close to New Orleans
BNew York's got the ways and means
ABut just won't let you be. E
EMost of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love
Most of the time they're sitting and crying at home
One of these days they know they better get going
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.
ETruckin', like the do-dah man
AOnce told me: "You've got to play your hand!"
BSometimes your cards ain't worth a dime
AIf you don't lay'em dowEn.
ASometimes the light's all shinin' on me; G D/F A
AOther times I can Dbarely Asee. G D/F A
DLately it oBmccurs to Fme What a lA5ong, strange trip it's Ebeen.
EWhat in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine
All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"
ETruckin', up to Buffalo
Been tAhinking, you got to mellow slow
BTakes time, you pick a place to go
AAnd just keep truckin' on. E
ESitting and staring out of the hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in.
EBusted, down on Bourbon Street
ASet up, like a bowling pin
BKnocked down, it get's to wearing thin
AThey just won't let you be,E oh no.
EYou're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel
Get tired of traveling and you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.
ASometimes the light's all shinin' on me; G D/F A
AOther times I can Dbarely Asee. G D/F A
DLately it oBmccurs to Fme What a lA5ong, strange trip it's Ebeen.
ETruckin', I'm going home
AWhoh whoh baby, back where I belong
BBack home, sit down and patch my bones
AAnd get back truckin' on.E
