Truckin got my chips cashed in
Keep truckin, like the do-dah-man
Together, more or less in line
Just keep truckin on.
E (segura neste acorde a estrofe toda)
Dallas, got a soft machine
Houston, too close to New Orleans
New York's got the ways and means
But just won't let you be, ohno.
E (segura neste acorde a estrofe toda)
Truckin', like the do-dah man
Once told me: "You've got to play your hand!"
Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime
If you don't lay'em down.
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been.
E (segura neste acorde a estrofe toda)
All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"
Truckin', up to Buffalo
Been thinking, you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go
And just keep truckin' on.
E (segura neste acorde a estrofe toda)
Busted, down on Bourbon Street
Set up, like a bowling pin
Knocked down, it get's to wearing thin
They just won't let you be, oh no.
You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel
Get tired of traveling and you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been.
Truckin', I'm going home
Whoh whoh baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones
And get back truckin' on.
