    Lyrics

    I’m tired of all this calculatin’, waitin’ round so long
    Takes a lonesome rambler to sing a lonesome ramblin’ song
    Honey, put your good foot in the road
    Figure out the details, check your numbers twice
    If you wanna make a break for it, well, don’t take that advice
    Honey, put your good foot in the road

    Boss man’ll tell you a card laid is a card played
    When it’s him that’s dealing, well, exceptions do get made
    Honey, put your good foot in the road
    I sure like Mama’s biscuits and her homemade apple jam
    But I love the feel of waking up not knowing where I am
    Honey, put your good foot in the road

    The road goes on forever, the road it never stops
    Just easy on your liver, boys, and careful ‘round the cops
    Honey, put your good foot in the road
    There’s plenty generous people on the right and on the left
    You’ll see we’re bound together like the warp is to the weft
    Honey, put your good foot in the road

    Hit a patch of good luck, people treat you nice
    Got one foot in the open road and one in paradise
    Honey, put your good foot in the road
    Hit a patch of hard luck, people treat you mean
    Wouldn’t be oases without spaces in between
    Honey, put your good foot in the road

    It’s a risky deal you’re makin’, forsakin’ house & home
    To wander sacred territory out there on your own
    Honey, put your good foot in the road
    But you’re learnin’ when you’re burnin’ bridges, learnin’ when you fall
    If you won’t dance ungracefully then you won’t dance at all
    Honey, put your good foot in the road
