Punch your ticket get your kicks on the early bus out.
Checkered past, planning a future its lonely roaming around.
Secretly having a fling with a single mom, hey you're on a good one
Write sometime or call sometime when you're drunk
Instrumental
verse 2
Let me put you up, put you up in the guest house
Yeah we got a great couch, I found it sitting on the sidewalk.
One of these days, one day you're really gonna need someone
When things get bad with no companion to complain on.
Instrumental
Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Lean on the ropes when your legs are tired, when they're tired
It's all fixed, I sent your tickets but they came back
I had you on the AMTRACK, I thought you might like, thought you might like that
Felt so long, right or wrong it wouldn't be so bad
Just keep it on a straight path, get right back, let me know where you're at
Heed to the roads and the stars in the sky
Sleep under oaks if your legs get tired
Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Lean on the ropes when your legs get tired When they tire
Let me put you up, put you up (x4)
