"Road House" lyrics - STEPHEN STILLS

STEPHEN STILLS
"Road House"

I went 49, don't go slow
Ain't your place, stop and say hello
Left but ahead, no closer to the home
Ask for and drop, coming through the floorboard

Mississippi bloodhound where I begin
Play my music for a bunch of college kids
Said they liked it, wanna be friends
Why does that other man want me dead?

Been out John Doe and abused
Singing for my supper, what's it to you?
Driving other people through my city
Early in the midnight, in the driving race

Mississippi bloodhound where I begin
Play my music for a bunch of college kids
Said they liked it, wanna be friends
Why would that other man want me dead?

Mississippi bloodhound where I begin
Play my music for a bunch of college kids
Said they liked it, wanna be friends
Why does that other man want me dead?

I got enough, went back home
Women and the tax man never leave me alone
Too many cherries, wanna be fed
Turn around and around like the devil's in my head

Mississippi bloodhound where I begin
Play my music for a bunch of college kids
Said they liked it, wanna be friends
Why does that other man want me dead?
