howard jones - road to cairo lyrics
a fella told me
this here road leads to cairo
i got to get me a ride
i got to go back
go back to my children
i got to see my little bride
i been travellin’
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 stoppin’
are you headed down to cairo?
i wrecked my lincoln in saint jo
why to little old cairo?
no special reason
look up some folks i used to know
me i travel some
have my share of fun
now that’s a life a man can live
sure i’ve played and lost
but who minds the cost
you 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 travelled some
yes i’ve been a b-m
never have a dime for gin
left to make my way
told her 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 thinkin’ i’m dead
i been travellin’
gone a long long time
don’t know what i’d find
scared of what i’d find
i can’t i just can’t walk down this road
