Down the Road Songtext
von Richard Clapton

I was turned out of Café Cologne
As the sun came up, the cock was crowing
And the ground kept swaying underneath my feet

All the drifters, all American
Chasing dreams to Amsterdam
A-stumbling briskly past me on the street

And I′ve got this feeling in my heart
That it's time to raise the blinds and change the scene

Down the road I′m going
Down the road I'm going
Down the road I'm going

I paint miracles on pavements
And don′t expect no payment
Unless, of course, the stranger′s feeling kind

I've lived this way for years and years
And sometimes shed a madman′s tears
My head's bursting with life most of the time


Then I get this feeling in my heart
That it′s time to raise the blinds and change the scene

And down the road I'm going
Down the road I′m going
Down the road I'm going
Here I go

Well, I get this feeling in my heart
That it's time to raise the blinds and change the scene

Down the road I′m going
Down the road I′m going
Down the road I'm going
Down the road I′m going
Down the road I'm going

Hey
Down the road I′m going (see me go, down the road I'm going)
Down the road I′m going (see me go, see me go, no, I walk down)
Down the road I'm going (down I'm going, woo)
Down the road I′m going (down I′m going, see me go, that's all down)
Down the road I′m going (down I'm going, uh, gotta go)
Down the road I′m going
