David Ackles - Road To Cairo lyrics

A fella told me This here road leads to Cairo I've got to get me a ride I've got to go back Go back to my children I got to see my little my bride I've been traveling 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 stopping Are you headed down to Cairo I wrecked my Lincoln in St. Joe Well to little old Cairo No special reason Look up some folks I used to know Me I traveled some Had my share of fun Now that's the life a man can live Sure I've played the loss But who minds the cause You've 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 traveled some Yes I've been a bum Never have a dime for gin I left to make my way For here 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 thinking I'm dead I've been traveling Gone a long long time Dunno what I'll find Scared of what I'd find I just can't Just can't walk down this road
