[Verse 1]
Punch your ticket, get your kicks on the early bus out
Checkered past, planning a future, it's 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

[Verse 2]
Let me put you up, put you up in the guest house
We got a great couch I found sitting on the sidewalk
One of these days, one day, you're really gonna need someone
And things get bad with no companion to complain on

[Chorus]
Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Lean under oaks when your legs are tired
When they're tired

[Verse 3]
It's all fixed, I sent your tickets but they came back
I had you on the AMTRAK
I thought you might like, I 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
