Lyrics
LET'S GO DOWN THE ROAD DARLING YOU AND I
HAVE NO PLACE TO GO WATCH THE RIVER ROLL
AND THE STORM ROLL BY, WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
IT WE GET LUCKY IN SOME LITTLE TOWN UP NORTH
WE COULD HAVE THE BABY SETTLE DOWN & SO FORTH
WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
TRAIN CAN'T TAKE US WHERE WE WANT TO GO
CAN'T AFFORD TO FLY
DARLING YOU AND I WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
WHEN YOU GET LONESOME FOR THAT HOME YOU LEFT SO
LONG AGO
I'LL HELP YOU FEEL AFFECTION ON THE ROAD I KNOW
WHERE WE'RE GOING THERE'LL BE RAINBOWS
WATCH THE COLORS FROM OUR TREE HOUSE
BIRDS WILL BUILD THEIR NEST IN OUR CHIMNEY EVERY
SPRING
TOO BAD FOR JACKSON MAYBE WE WERE FOOLS
TOO BAD FOR CUNNINGHAM, I KNOW YOU LOVED THOSE
MULES
WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
TURNED THEM LOOSE THIS MORNING
OH, I THINK IT'S A SIN
THEY HAVE TO SWIM FOR HIGH GROUND
IN THE TEETH OF A HOWLING WIND
WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY,WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
JACKSON HE'S CRIPPLE, WHEEL MULE BLIND
BUT HE'LL DO JUST FINE
CUNNINGHAM CAN LEAD HIM CROSS THE ALABAMA LINE
WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY WATCH THE STORM ROLL BY
WHEN YOU GET LONESOME FOR THAT HOME YOU LEFT SO
LONG AGO
I'LL HELP YOU FEEL AFFECTION ON THE ROAD - I KNOW-
WHERE WE'RE GOING THERE'LL BE RAINBOWS
WATCH THE COLORS FROM OUR TREE HOUSE
BIRDS WILL BUILD THEIR NEST IN OUR CHIMNEY EVERY
SPRING
