Road to Cairo Songtext
von Brian Auger & the Trinity & Julie Driscoll

Road to Cairo Songtext

A fella told me
This here road leads to Cairo
I got to get me a ride
I got to go back
Go back to my children
I got to see my little bride

I′ve been traveling
Gone a long, long time
Don't know what I′ll find
Scared of what I'll find
But I just got to see them again

Hey, thanks for stopping
Are you headed down to Cairo?
I wrecked my Lincoln in Saint Jo
Why, to little old Cairo?
Oh, no special reason
Look up some folks I used to know


Me, I travel some
Have my share of fun
Well, you see that's a life that I choose to live
Sure I′ve played and lost
But who minds the cost?
You got to take much more than you give

Hey, could I try your cigar?
Hmm, I sure like this car
Brought from your daddy as a gift
Say on second thought
There′s gifts that I haven't bought
You can drop me here, thanks for the lift

Yes, I′ve traveled some
Yes, I've been a bum
I′ve never had a dime for keeps
I left to make my own way
Told him I can't stay
To see my children poor as sin

I know this road, I know this road
It leads straight into Cairo
Over twenty-two miles straight ahead
But I can′t, I can't walk down this road to Cairo
They're better thinking I′m dead
They′re better thinking that I'm dead


I′ve been traveling
Gone a long, long time
Don't know what I′d find
Scared of what I'd find

I can′t, no I can't walk down this road
I can't walk down this road
No, I can′t walk down this road, this road
No, hey, hey, no, no, no
I can′t walk down this road
