Don't look around
'Cause I'm never coming back
It's high time
You saw the last of me

You thought I was a whiner
I'd forgotten where to go
I had no place to lay my head to rest
I had to go

Don't look around
'Cause I'm never coming back
It's high time
You saw the last of me

Whoah
Had to change my mind
You're going to change my mind
Now I'm working all day long
I'm singing for my food
Baby, you know that I've got everything I need

I've given all I can
The rest belongs to me
Fact was it didn't matter
Just who I had to be

Don't look around
'Cause I'm never coming back
It's high time
You saw the last of me

Whoah
Had to change my mind
You're going to change my mind

I'm gunnin' right on through the town
Don't need you anymore
Now I think I'll turn my back and walk away from you

We're livin' in the country
Doing everything we please
I don't want you comin' round swirling up a be

Don't look around
'Cause I'm never coming back
It's high time
You saw the last of me

Whoah
Had to change my mind
You're going to change my mind

Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Don't try following me
'Cause you know I'm coming home soon
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
The next tide will take us from shore
On a search for the mighty sperm whale
My ships' leaving on a

I can see you, baby, from a thousand miles away,
And I know you love me, no matter what you say.
I can tell you, baby, where you belong,
By my side at the end of the day, when the work is done.

I can tell when you been sleepin' all day in bed,
And I know what drives you, out of your head.
I can feel your heart beatin' through a cement wall,
And I know you'll come runnin' whenever I call.

Can't fool me (no, no, no)
Can't fool a man who's been around,
You can't leave me (no, no, no)
Without me knowin' where you're goin'
Can't get away

I can touch every breath you take,
And you know with me you can't make no mistake.
Just like butter on a hot summer's day,
I can melt you baby and leave you that way.

If your heart was a diamond and your love was gold,
You'd be a ring on my finger, you don't need to be told
That it ain't no use tryin' to cheat on me
'Cause everybody knows, where you got to be.

Can't fool me (no, no, no)
Can't fool a man who's been around,
You can't leave me (no, no, no)
Without me knowin' where you're goin'
Can't get away

many a year I was so confused
and didnt know what to play
But then I met a man who picked up his horn
and showed me just what to say

He was skinny and lean and he kept himself clean
and he knew how to write them tunes
Then came a day when we started to play
And you know we conquered the moon

Chorus

I'm in a band
A rock and roll band
I'm in a band

We called him Beethoven and then we showed them

exactly where we wanted to go
So we started a band and toured all the land
A-rakin' in all of that dough

We smoked a few cigs and we played a few gigs
and never missed nearly a one
We covered the States and we hit the Great Lakes
And boy, did we have us some fun

(Chorus)

We had an idea so we put it in gear
and soon we were out on the road
We did it to play and they started to say
The Animal Trainer and the Toad

I see her sailing on her silver wings
With hands that move like little trees
Alive and bending in my raging storm
To a heartbeat, my lady lives for me
To a heartbeat, my lady lives for me

Out of the country to my city life
All wrapped in dreams she wears like pearls
She dances to the music that I play for her
And my lady is the softness in my world
And my lady is the softness in my world

Comin' back from the mountain
My lady waits for me
My lady waits for me

In paint and ribbons and her colored shells
All she imagines for my days
And weaves a life that is feeling good for me
And my lady hears every note I play
And my lady hears every note I play

My rooms are filled with all she's made by hand
My songs are filled with all her rhymes
My heart is filled with the work that we've been doin'
And the children we'll be havin' all in good time
And the children we'll be havin' all in good time

Comin' back from the mountain
My lady waits for me
My lady waits for me

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

What you gonna do when you can't seem to understand?
How you gonna feel when your woman's with another man?

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

What makes you think that you're gonna ever understand?
What's goin' on in the mind of another man?

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

What you gonna do when you can't seem to understand?
How you gonna feel when your woman's with another man?

Do you remember the great train robbery?
How it all happened, back in '63
When Johnny Rainbow took his band of brave men
Went down to the crossing to meet that train
When they were sure the time was right

Fourteen men to share seven million
Bound to steal, steal it all and run
Johnny wanted to keep it peaceful
But Wilson cried and though it might have died
You know they had to turn and run

The life of a thief
Is all bits and pieces
It's out on the street
And all that it teaches
The look in the wind
And taking a gamble
The wages of sin
Are too hot to handle

(Look him in the eye)
He takes what he finds
(Look him in the eye)
Yeah, he's marking time
(Look him in the eye)
His life's on the line

No one knows where the Rainbow is hiding
He's been sure not to tip his hand
He is still living on the fruits of that bloody day
They caught some of his friends, they got some of his money
But they never could catch that man

The affairs of that night will live forever
As the law was breeched in the heart of a thief
Many legends still declare that tragic day
How the iron horse fell, oh I know so well
I was a party to all that grief

I'm a crossroader.
Speedin' from town to town.
I'm a crossroader.
Speedin' from town to town.
I never ride the main highway.
So nobody can slow me down.

I'm always trav'lin'.
Just a taste outside the law.
I'm always trav'lin'.
Just a taste outside the law.
If you come lookin' for some trouble
I'm the man that you'relookin' for.

When things ain't movin' fast enough
I gotta' pick up and move
When things ain't movin' fast enough
I gotta' pick up and move
They say it ain't no way for a man to be livin'.
It's the crossroader's blues.

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

What you gonna do when you can't seem to understand?
How you gonna feel when your woman's with another man?

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

What makes you think that you're gonna ever understand?
What's goin' on in the mind of another man?

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark

What you gonna do when you can't seem to understand?
How you gonna feel when your woman's with another man?
