Stan Rogers — Down The Road

Sun is rising high, burning into the day I will say goodbye; I'll be going away Brush away my doubts what tomorrow will hold Feeling fine for now, going down the road To a city to sing about the trees and the wind 'Bout the hills in spring and the rivers that bend The rocky deep pass and the poppies and ponies Running through the grass, up and down the road ["do-do-do do-do" vocalise of the melody] In the dark they sit, and they holler for more White smoke in a wisp from here to the door Their admission they paid for the stories they're told Of a clear new day; hold me down on the road So heavy rain at my back, lazy meadows ahead In my book I keep track of the promises said For my songs in a town that tomorrow will hold I'm feelin' fine for now, going down the road ["do-do-do do-do" vocalise of the melody] The sun is rising high, burning into the day So I will say goodbye; I'll be going away I'll brush away my doubts what tomorrow will hold I'm feeling fine for now, going down the road [3x] ["do-do-do do-do" vocalise of the melody]
