I'm finished with that woman, tell you the reason why
That woman likes to do things on the sly
You look for your supper to be good and hot
She never even put your supper in the pot

She's on the road again (just as sure as you're born)
Lord, a natural born easeman on the road again
She's on the road again (just as sure as you're born)
Lord, a natural born easeman on the road again

I went to my window, my window was propped
I went to my door, my door was locked
I stepped right back, I shook my head
I saw a little rounder in my folding bed
I shot through the window, I broke the glass
I never seen that little rounder run so fast

She's on the road again (just as sure as you're born)
Lord, a natural born easeman on the road again
She's on the road again (just as sure as you're born)
Lord, a natural born easeman on the road again

Your friend comes to your house, why that's an arresting hat
The next thing he wants to know is where your husband's at
She says, I don't know, he's on his way to the pen
Come on, mama, let's get on the road again

She's on the road again (just as sure as you're born)
Lord, a natural born easeman on the road again
She's on the road again (just as sure as you're born)
Lord, a natural born easeman on the road again

Come on, mama, on the road again
