Truckin' (Live at P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. 6/22/73)-Grateful Dead

[00:12.239]Truckin'got my chips cashed in.Keep truckin',like the do-dah man [00:19.755]Together,more or less in line,just keep truckin'on. [00:35.545]Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street. [00:39.556]Chicago,New York,Detroit and it's all on the same street. [00:43.10]Your typical city involved in a typical daydream [00:47.307]Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings. [00:50.914]Dallas,got a soft machine;Houston,too close to New Orleans; [00:58.632]New York's got the ways and means;but just won't let you be,oh no. [01:14.630]Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love, [01:17.524]Most of the time they're sittin'and cryin'at home. [01:21.334]One of these days they know they better get goin' [01:25.244]Out of the door and down on the streets all alone. [01:29.01]Truckin',like the do-dah man.Once told me ";You've got to play your hand"; [01:36.670]Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime,if you don't lay'em down, [01:51.754]Sometimes the light's all shinin'on me; [01:58.658]Other times I can barely see. [02:05.159]Lately it occurs to me What a long,strange trip it's been. [02:23.278]What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? [02:26.732]She lost her sparkle,you know she isn't the same [02:30.595]Livin'on reds,vitamin C,and cocaine, [02:32.929]All a friend can say is ";Ain't it a shame?"; [02:38.211]Truckin',up to Buffalo.Been thinkin',you got to mellow slow [02:45.676]Takes time,you pick a place to go,and just keep truckin'on. [03:00.759]Sittin'and starin'out of the hotel window. [03:04.517]Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again [03:08.224]I'd like to get some sleep before I travel, [03:11.931]But if you got a warrant,I guess you're gonna come in. [03:15.944]Busted,down on Bourbon Street,Set up,like a bowlin'pin. [03:23.357]Knocked down,it get's to wearin'thin.They just won't let you be,oh no. [03:39.49]You're sick of hangin'around and you'd like to travel; [03:41.640]Get tired of travelin'and you want to settle down. [03:45.855]I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin', [03:49.612]Get out of the door and light out and look all around. [03:53.523]Sometimes the light's all shinin'on me; [04:00.173]Other times I can barely see. [04:06.371]Lately it occurs to me What a long,strange trip it's been. [04:24.399]Truckin',I'm a goin'home.Whoa whoa baby,back where I belong, [04:30.371]Back home,sit down and patch my bones,and get back truckin'on. [04:56.270]Hey now get back truckin'home.
