verse 1 Punch your ticket get your kicks on the early bus out. Checkered past, planning a future its 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 Instrumental (with delay/dist) verse 2 Let me put you up, put you up in the guest house Yeah we got a great couch, I found it sitting on the sidewalk. One of these days, one day you're really gonna need someone When things get bad with no companion to complain on. Instrumental (with delay/dist) Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky Lean on the ropes when your legs are tired, when they're tired It's all fixed, I sent your tickets but they came back I had you on the AMTRACK, I thought you might like, 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 Heed to the roads and the stars in the sky Sleep under oaks if your legs get tired Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky Lean on the ropes when your legs get tired....When they tire Let me put you up, put you up (x4)
