Off The Road

John Mayall


I've traveled the world and had no time to rest
I've played for people every day
Living from a suitcase from town to town
Till my nerves began to fray
Dreaming of the day I'd stay at home

I feel like I've been on the move too long
Eight years of on the road
Got me a place in the burning sun
Found me the way to go
I'm building up a house to make a home

Found a great love I was looking for
Two people now are one
Her clothes in the closet and her with me
Everything is always fun
Once we had a house but now it's home

Build up your rooms and decorate your walls
That's all you have to do
Work in your way till you find your peace
And life can be made for you
It's good to fell the peace and quiet of home
