Lyrics Arlo Guthrie

Arlo Guthrie

Living Like A Legend

Coming down the highway, running like a wind

Gonna beat the sunset to the coast and back again

Moving thru the shadows, almost going blind

Living like a legend before my time

If the road don't kill me, baby, 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, baby

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

But someday, baby, I'll be coming home to stay

Wrapped up in your warm love every night and every day

Oooh, I'm going out of my mind

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

Kick off your shoes, babe, 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

So, look out for me, darling

On account of your man is coming home
