1.
Telephone's ringin', it's three a.m.
I got a Yankee lady on the other end
sayin', "Come on home, try it one more time."
Well I'm packin' me up, gonna' roll up my gear
I'm gonna' get myself on outta here
on a northbound highway headed home
2.
Dollar-forty-five on the Mass Pike
Into Worcester Mass in the middle of the night
I'm gonna' try and get gas, back on the road again
Granite state you're lookin' good to me
You're gonna' carry me back to where I wanted to be
on a northbound highway headed home
Chorus:
I just gotta' keep on movin'
Been a long time waitin' for the telephone to ring
And when I get me back,
you're gonna' hear me sing
3.
Wheelin' me up onto 'ninety-five
Doin' a lotta black coffee, tryin' to keep me alive
I just hope I don't keep her cryin'
Exit nine down to Falmouth Maine
I got a Yankee lady on the other end
of a northbound highway headed home
