[Verse 1]
I'm getting into some things that I can't quite work out
It's like I'm a lone passenger on a twenty-ton ship that's run aground
And if that's the way I'm gonna characterize it
I better get myself back on the road
I better get myself back on the road

[Verse 2]
I get to talking sometimes 'bout things that I can't quite explain
I beat the morning traffic to my basement just to chase the feeling on a page away
And if that's the thing I'll be remembered by

[Chorus]
I better get mysеlf back on the road
I better gеt myself back on the road
Back to work, baby, back in the fold
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
And that's the way I'm gonna characterize it
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Maybe it's the shivers in bed
Or a headache instead
Maybe the body is the lawyer for the spirit in the court of your head
And if that's the way I'm gonna characterize it
[Chorus]
Well, I better get myself back on the road
They say the air is cleaner out there on the coast
Back to work, baby, back in the fold
I just arrived but I've got to go
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
