Countin' Signs

Running on the 14 Line
Gonna see the morning light real soon
The bus is cutting fog
I can see the sunlight dim the moon

Many a day
I’ve been paddling down this creek.
I'll find my way
I’ve been traveling now for weeks.
Ask me where I’m going and why,
I’ll just say, “Well, that’s up to me”
Cause when I’m traveling the roads and countin' signs
It’s the time when I feel free.

Gonna get my license back
Gonna get a rig with a nice smooth ride
Gonna take a nice long cruise
Gonna have my baby by my side

What I was, what I got and what will be
We're crusing along,
We're just another highway dream
Tell me your problems
And you’ll probably think I’m mean
Cause it’s all flowing, it’s coming and going
It was never quite what it seemed

Fall is coming fast
Ducks landing in a glistening roadside pond
Earth, water, sun and sky.
If I see much more it might be God

When I arise I rub my eyes and drink a pot of coffee,
That's the medicine for me.
Taking off with the wind in my face,
Feelin' fine as I can be.
If they want to to know where I went,
I’m out looking for Bobby McGee,
Cause when I’m traveling the roads and countin' signs
It’s the time when I feel free.
