living like a legend
arlo guthrie
gonna beat the sunset to the coast and back again
living like a legend before my time
if the road don't kill me
i'll see you in the spring
making up for lost time between us seems like everything
if i can make it home alright
you know i'll treat you fine
living like a legend before my time
i know it wasn't easy for you
with your man out on the road
so i'll be coming home tomorrow
to try to help you carry the load
i'm running out of highways and bridges to burn
this kind of living is taking its toll on what i've learned
you know it ain't easy leaving you behind
living like a legend before my time
i'll be coming home to stay
wrapped up in your warm love every night and every day
living like a legend before my time
i'll be getting up early 'cause i know i'm coming home
i'm so tired of living this legend life alone
we'll drink a little wine
forget about living like a legend before my time
forget about living like a legend
just forget about the road
on account of your man is coming home
