Down the Road

4-18-2012 Down the Road I was walking slowly down that road ,oh yea, I found that to worry is not my friend,uh hu, Even though- I walk alone,I feel the shoes of a traveling man, I just remembered,what I had forgot, your voice on the phone, Begging me,to please come home, home from this road-oh yea, I ask her,did she forget -that I left her,when she was gone, Now I'm outside of Memphis with the blues-oh yea Made my way through Alabam,with nothing but a smile, From a one night stand,In my shoes I'll walk until I.m gone-oh yea Hoped on a train, Chicago bound,until I met this railroad clown, Who told me of a Hollywood town,where demand was up, for the rich was down, I've now got me a role of a lonely one walking down the road, Branding a smile ,paid for each mile,away I go ,-oh yea
