Chris Smither - Look Down The Road Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Look Down The Road"
(originally by Skip James)

Look down the road
'Fer as my eyes could see
Hey-hey, hey, hey
'Fer as my eyes could see
Yes, I couldn't see nothin'
That looked like mine to me

I wouldn't have a woman
Stay out all night long
Hey-hey, hey, hey
She stay out all night long
Yes, I don't want no woman
She don't know right from wrong

I can't get no higher
Comin' to lower you down
Hey-hey, hey, hey
Comin' to lower you down
I'm gonna stand right here till my
Mustache drag the ground

I wouldn't have a rooster
That don't crow 'fore day
Hey-hey, hey, hey
If he won't crow 'fore day
I don't want no chicken
Don't cackle when she lay

Look down the road
'Fer as my eyes could see
Hey-hey, hey, hey
'Fer as my eyes could see
Yes, I couldn't see nothin'
That looked like mine to me
