• The Road To Cairo

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', you headed down to Cairo
I wrecked my Lincoln in the Saint Jo
Why to little old Cairo, no special reason
Look up some folks I used to know

Hey, I've traveled some, I had my share of fun
And now that's a life a man can live
Sure I've played and lost, but who minds the cost
You've got to take more than you give

Hey, you got another cigar, son, I sure like this-a 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 bum
Never have a dime for kin
I love to make my way, is more than I can say
To see my children poor as sin

I know this road 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'll find, scared of what I'll find
I can't, I just can't walk down this road
