  • It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition
    And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament
    But before too long I might see those flashing red lights
    Look out, mama, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight

    I think I'll roll another number for the road
    I feel able to get under any load
    Though my feet aren't on the ground
    I been standin' on the sound
    Of some open-hearted people goin' down

    I'm not goin' back to Woodstock for a while
    Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile
    I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day
    No, I don't believe I'll be goin' back again

    Think I'll roll another number for the road
    I feel able to get under any load
    Though my feet aren't on the ground
    I been standin' on the sound
    Of some open-hearted people goin' down Writer/s: Neil Young
