lyrics

I’m tired of all this calculatin’, waitin’ round so long
Takes a lonesome rambler to sing a lonesome ramblin’ song
Honey, put your good foot in the road
Figure out the details, check your numbers twice
If you wanna make a break for it, well, don’t take that advice
Honey, put your good foot in the road

Boss man’ll tell you a card laid is a card played
When it’s him that’s dealing, well, exceptions do get made
Honey, put your good foot in the road
I sure like Mama’s biscuits and her homemade apple jam
But I love the feel of waking up not knowing where I am
Honey, put your good foot in the road

The road goes on forever, the road it never stops
Just easy on your liver, boys, and careful ‘round the cops
Honey, put your good foot in the road
There’s plenty generous people on the right and on the left
You’ll see we’re bound together like the warp is to the weft
Honey, put your good foot in the road

Hit a patch of good luck, people treat you nice
Got one foot in the open road and one in paradise
Honey, put your good foot in the road
Hit a patch of hard luck, people treat you mean
Wouldn’t be oases without spaces in between
Honey, put your good foot in the road

It’s a risky deal you’re makin’, forsakin’ house & home
To wander sacred territory out there on your own
Honey, put your good foot in the road
But you’re learnin’ when you’re burnin’ bridges, learnin’ when you fall
If you won’t dance ungracefully then you won’t dance at all
Honey, put your good foot in the road
