"Truckin'"

Words by Robert Hunter; music by Garcia, Lesh, Weir

Truckin' - got my chips cashed in

Keep Truckin - like the doodah man

Together - more or less in line

Just keep Truckin on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street

Chicago, New York, Detroit it's all on the same street

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream

Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Dallas - got a soft machine

Houston - too close to New Orleans

New York - got the ways and means

but just won't let you be

Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of True Love

Most of the time they're sittin and cryin at home

One of these days they know they gotta get goin

out of the door and down to the street all alone

Truckin - like the doodah man

once told me you got to play your hand

sometime - the cards ain't worth a dime

if you don't lay em down

Sometimes the light's all shining on me

Other times I can barely see

Lately it occurs to me

What a long strange trip its been

What 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"

Truckin' -- up to Buffalo

Been thinkin - you got to mellow slow

Takes time - you pick a place to go

and just keep Truckin on

Sitting and staring out of a 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

Busted - down on Bourbon Street

Set up - like a bowling pin

Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin

They just won't let you be

You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel

Tired of travel, you want to settle down

I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying

Get out of the door - light out and look all around

Sometimes the light's all shining on me

Other times I can barely see

Lately it occurs to me

What a long strange trip its been

Truckin - I'm goin home

Whoa-oh baby, back where I belong

Back home - sit down and patch my bones

and get back Truckin on

get it now.........???

hey notallthere, i see dead people with spots...
