on the road again
The Lovin’ Spoonful Lyrics

I woke up this mornin', looked around my four walls
As soon as I woke up, I realized that I had been living a mundane life and felt restricted within the walls of my room.

And a dream told me you ain't happy at all
My subconscious mind revealed to me that I wasn't content with my current situation and needed to make a change.

I packed up my bags, I took my last look and then
I decided to leave everything behind because I was determined to embark on a new journey.

Look out, pretty mom, I'm on the road again
I am ready to begin a new adventure and I'm warning those close to me that I won't be around for a while.

I'm on the road again (Just as sure as you're born)
Without a doubt, I am going to hit the road again and leave my old life behind for good.

I ran home last night to get my dinner hot
I rushed home last night hoping to find a warm meal waiting for me.

I pulled on my door and found the door was locked
Unfortunately, when I arrived home, I couldn't get in because the door was locked.

I jumped through the window and believe it or not
To my surprise, I had to break into my own house through a window just to get inside.

She had not even put my dinner in the pot
To add insult to injury, even though I went to great lengths to get home for a warm meal, my partner didn't even bother to cook for me.

I've never been evil and I've never been sly
I am not a deceitful or dishonest person and I have never had any ill intentions towards anyone.

But if I sit some place and let the time roll by
As time passes, I begin to feel stagnant and unfulfilled by my routines, prompting me to search for something new.

I start to get restless, pack my bags up and then
Restlessness takes over, urging me to pack my things and head out on a new journey.

Look out pretty mom, I'm on the road again
As I hit the road once again, I am warning those close to me that I am on a new adventure and won't be around for a while.
