david ackles - the road to cairo lyrics
a fella told me
this here road leads to cairo
i’ve got to get me a ride
i’ve got to go back
go back to my children
i got to see my little my bride
i’ve been traveling
gone a long long time
don’t know what i’ll find
scared of what i’ll find
but i just got to see them again
hey thanks for stopping
are you headed down to cairo
i wrecked my lincoln in st. joe
well to little old cairo
no special reason
look up some folks i used to know
me i traveled some
had my share of fun
now that’s the life a man can live
sure i’ve played the loss
but who minds the cause
you’ve got to take more than you give
hey you got another cigar
son i sure like this car
oh from your daddy as a gift
say on second thought
there’s gifts i haven’t bought
just drop me here
thanks for the lift
yes i’ve traveled some
yes i’ve been a b-m
never have a dime for gin
i left to make my way
for here i can’t stay
to see my children poor as sin
i know this road
it leads straight into cairo
twenty two miles straight ahead
i can’t i can’t walk down this road to cairo
they’re better thinking i’m dead
i’ve been traveling
gone a long long time
dunno what i’ll find
scared of what i’d find
i just can’t
just can’t walk down this road
