Truckin' by Grateful Dead.

Truckin' got my chips cashed in . Keep truckin', like the do-dah 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, and 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's got the ways and means ; but won't just let you be, oh no. Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love. Most of the time their sittin' and cryin' at home one of these days they'll know they better get going Out the door and down the street all alone. Truckin' like the do-dah man. Once told me , "You got to play your hand sometimes they ain't worth a dime if you don't lay'em down". Sometimes the light's all shinning on me other times I can barely see, lately it's ocurred to me what a long , strange trip it's been. What in the world ever became of sweet Jane, she lost her sparkle , you know she isn't the same. Livin' on reds, vitiman 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 , just keep truckin' on. Sittin' and starring out the hotel window got a tip they gonna kick the door in, 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 bowlin' pin , Knocked down, it gets to wearin' thin, they just won't let you be, oh no. You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel, get tried of travelin' and you want to settle down. I guess they cann't revoke your soul for tryin' . Get out of the door and light out and look around. Sometimes the light's are shinnin' on me other times I can barely see, lately it's ocurred to me, what a long , strange trip it's been. Truckin' I'm goin' home ,Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong . Back home sit down and patch my bones and get back truckin' on . Hey now get back truckin' on.
