lyrics

Early in the mornin’ it was drizzling rain
‘round the curve came a passenger train
Under the wheel was KC Jones
A mighty man found dead and gone

Some folks say mister KC wouldn’t run
Let me tell you what KC had done
Left out of Memphis, quarter-to-nine
New York City dinner time

On the road again
Looking for a brand new start
In some other city
On the road again
Looking for a brand new start
On the road again

I’m leavin’ Memphis, spread the news
‘Cos Memphis women don’t wear no shoes
My name is written on the back of my shirt
No home to go to, no need to work

KC told the man just before he died
There’s one more road he’d like to ride
The farmer asked KC, “Which road is he?”
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe

On the road again
Looking for a brand new start
In some other city
On the road again
Looking for a brand new start
On the road again
