on the road again
Melua Katie Lyrics

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
Despite being emotionally exhausted, I'm embarking on another journey.

I'm on the road again.
I'm traveling, away from my current location.

I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend.
I don't have a significant other or close companion to accompany me.

And I'm going to leave the city, got to go away.
I'm departing from the urban area and must depart.

All this fussing and fighting, man I sure can't stay.
I cannot endure the conflict and turmoil any longer, it's time to leave.

You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow
I recall my initial voyage in challenging weather conditions.

In the rain and snow.
It was particularly challenging, with precipitation and cold temperatures.

I didn't have no fellow, not even no place to go.
At that time, I was alone without a companion, and without any destination.

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
My mother departed from me when I was very young.

When I was quite young.
I was still in my youth and dependent on my mother at that point.

She said Lord have mercy on my wicked son.
My mother prayed for guidance and forgiveness for me as her child.

Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more
Mom, don't grieve anymore, I'll be fine.

Don't you cry no more.
No more tears, please. I'm moving forward with my plans.

Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone.
I'm leaving early morning and will soon be out of sight.

But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
I won't be taking that overwhelming, solitary path.

All by myself.
I'll have company by my side for support and companionship.

I can't carry you baby, gonna carry somebody
I won't be able to take care of you, I have to look out for someone else.
