verse 1
And as I went aboard the train, I said "Don't hang on, 'cause I'll be gone too long"
And there in my head again, oh, I dreamed a life of women, wine and song
But the fame I had planned for overnight slipped from sight, and left me in the void
And on the chill October dawn I'm alone, on the highway thumbin' my way home
Instrumental
Rocky mountain home, I said "I left you for the ro-ro-ro-ro-road"
And should I come back this winter, would you be there, would you have me there
Rocky mountain home, so many night I spent alo-lo-lo-lo-lone
With the thought of you in my mind, I've been unkind, I've said words unkind
Well, rocky mountain home, now that old highway is all I call my home
Well, please don't leave me stranded, here I stand, my head in my hands
Instrumental
Rocky mountain home, I said "I left you for the ro-ro-ro-ro-road"
And please don't leave me stranded, here I stand, I've got my head in my hands
Outro
Hey, hey driver, hey pull over, won't you let me get inside
Hey, hey driver, won't you slow down, won't you give me one more ride
Hey, hey driver, hey pull over, won't you let me get inside
Hey, hey driver, won't you slow down, won't you give me one more ride
Hey, hey driver, hey pull over, won't you let me get inside
Hey, hey driver, won't you slow down, won't you give me one more ride
Hey, hey driver
