Steve Forbert Get That Vagabond Feeling lyrics

VERSE
Lazy, weeping willow
Swaying by a stream
Lay your body easy down
And drift into a dream
Way down south in Dixie
How long has it been?
You caught that ride to Wichita
And you ain`t been back again

CHORUS
Just-a get that vagabond feeling
Get it on the road
Get it like Bo Diddley does
And get it like Tom Joad
And get it like a river does
Flowin` to the sea
(And) get it like a tumbleweed
Get it like you`re free

VERSE
San Francisco summer
Foghorns in the night
Locked inside that life of yours
Where nothin` works out right
Standing by the highway
People passing by
Your salty tears welled up inside
And you can`t even cry

(REPEAT CHORUS)
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

VERSE
You got no close companions
No one knows you well
Up all night with strangers
In a Baltimore hotel
No one knows your mama
Now one knows your pa
And no one knows the life you left
In Batesville, Arkansas

(REPEAT CHORUS)
