I got up and I hit the road, packed my bags and patched my soul
I got up and I hit the road, left my lover in the dust of home.
Keep your hands open for a dance, keep them legs closed from romance
Oh silly girl with hearts in your eyes, there's no time for love tonight.
You'll do-si-do with do you love me do you not
You'll two step with what you want and can't have
You'll slip back into a pleasant dream
We'll call this the road blues swing.
Broken-hearted with rambling hands is a poison for every good man
Broken-hearted with rambling hands, quick to swoon, not knowing where to land.
You'll do-si-do with do you love me do you not
You'll two step with what you want and can't have
You'll slip back into a pleasant dream
We'll call this the road blues swing.
I got up and I hit the road, packed my bags and patched my soul
I got up and I hit the road, left my lover in the dust of home.
Keep your hands open for a dance, keep them legs closed from romance
Oh silly girl with hearts in your eyes, there's no time for love tonight.
You'll do-si-do with do you love me do you not
You'll two step with what you want and can't have
You'll slip back into a pleasant dream
We'll call this the road blues swing.
