The Road To Cairo
A fella told me This here road leads to CairoI've got to get me a rideI've got to go backGo back to my childrenI got to see my little my brideI've been traveling Gone a long long timeDon't know what I'll findScared of what I'll findBut I just got to see them againHey thanks for stopping Are you headed down to CairoI wrecked my Lincoln in St. JoeWell to little old Cairo No special reason Look up some folks I used to knowMe I traveled someHad my share of funNow that's the life a man can liveSure I've played the lossBut who minds the causeYou've got to take more than you giveSongtexteHey you got another cigarSon I sure like this carOh from your daddy as a giftSay on second thoughtThere's gifts I haven't boughtJust drop me hereThanks for the liftYes I've traveled someYes I've been a bumNever have a dime for ginI left to make my wayFor here I can't stayTo see my children poor as sinI know this roadIt leads straight into CairoTwenty two miles straight aheadI can't I can't walk down this road to CairoThey're better thinking I'm deadI've been traveling Gone a long long timeDunno what I'll findScared of what I'd findI just can'tJust can't walk down this road Aus Songtexte Mania
