Going Up the Road

Goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend Goin' to a place I ain't never ever been before I gotta get out of this little ol' town The endless nights are bringin' me down Goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend Goin' up the road it eases my troubled mind Gonna find me a place where there ain't nothin' but time Sit up high and gave out on the water I'm afraid to jump but maybe I oughta Goin' up the road it eases my troubled mind Memories they're sometimes hard to set free Lord knows my memory has plagued me When memories they haunt you son Ya gotta move on and make new ones Memories they're sometimes hard to set free Sittin' on a cliff-top overlooking lake Champlaign Watchin' the birds fly over the watery plain There ain't nothin' like a bird in flight I watch 'em til they're outta sight Sittin' on a cliff-top overlooking lake Champlaign Pretty little miss just 'a sittin' listenin' while I sing Lord have mercy she's the sweetest thing If she don't cry, if she don't cling Who's to say what the future might bring Pretty little miss just 'a sittin' listenin' while I sing So I'm goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend Goin' to a place I ain't never ever been before I gotta get out of this little ol' town The endless nights are bringin' me down Goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend
