Laura Nyro - Walk the Dog and Light the Light (Song of the Road)

Gonna make my livin'
Independence
Walkin' with the gypsies
They call it 'that ribbon of highway'
Gonna buy a house
Make it a home
Another mile
A shot of coffee
Take my sugar
On the phone -

"Child of mine
I'm headin' for the city line
Oo Walk the dog & light the light
I'll see you Sunday
'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite"

They make their livin'
Their independence
Dawn thru moonlight
On both sides
Of that ribbon of highway
A melting pot
They come from all over
Thru down south
Pacific rim
Northern snow
And east thru autumn
Are you fine?
My love
Mama's headin' for the city line
Oo Run the dog
Darlin' light the light
I'll see you Sunday
'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite

See you Sunday 'cause
I'm workin' on Saturday
Nite -

Operator
Take this precious dime
Precious time
Mama's headin' for the city
the city, the city line

Oo In my heart
I will light the light
And see you Sunday
'Cause I'm workin' on Saturday nite

See you Sunday
'Cause I'm singin' on Saturday
