Title : 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 



No, I just can't walk down this road 

No, I just can't walk down this road 

No, I just can't walk down this road 

No, I just can't walk down this road 

No, I just can't walk down this road 

No, I just can't walk down this road 

No, I just can't walk down this road 

No, I just can't walk down this road
