I'm sittin' back
easy in my easy chair
Watchin' the mornin', dawnin' fair
My wife's cookin' breakfast
and my little girl
Is lookin' at her daddy like he owns the world
I got everything that a man could want
My lips ought to smile,
but somehow they don't
I feel a guilty little lump in my throat
Cause my body's at home,
but my heart's on the road
Albuquerque and New Orleans
Hamburgers and pinto beans
Big mountains and river beds
Happy anywhere that I lay my head
I feel like I'm about to explode
My body's at home,
but my heart's on the road
Face it, woman, I'm a gypsy man
Born with the road map in my hand
I'm the kind of thirsty
you can't quench
You just give me water inch by inch
The next town over is a -callin' my name
The line on the highway's
a -warpin' my brain
I feel buried and about to corrode
My body's at home,
but my heart's on the road
Albuquerque and New Orleans
Hamburgers and pinto beans
Big mountains and riverbeds
Happy anywhere that I lay my head
I feel like I'm about to explode
My body's at home,
but my heart's on the road
My body's at home,
but my heart's on the road
