Turnpike Lyrics by Ram Jam

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ram

0

I was in love and I wasn't afraid
We were just children actin' a play
Then all at once, you stole it away
What is the reason you wouldn't stay?

When I returned to Boston
Still in the place where my love was lost in
Oh baby, what's it costin' me?
Looked for your face in the railway station
Thought it was you, but now I'm mistaken
Where do I look in this great big nation for you?

Stuck on the turnpike
It's taken me days to hitchhike
Ain't no love like me and you
Stuck on the turnpike
It's taken me days to hitchhike
Ain't no love like me and you

I was a clown in your circus parade
You were the tamer, I was the tamed
You were the one that started the flame
Why can't the love that we had be the same?

Ridin' the southside ferry
I'm holdin' my soul with a bottle of sherry
Oh baby, don't you bury me
Telephone calls that I made to Boston
Have you returned to your home in Austin?
Oh baby, how it's costin' me

Stuck on the turnpike
It's taken me days to hitchhike
Ain't no love like me and you
Stuck on the turnpike
It's taken me days to hitchhike
Ain't no love like me and you

Stuck on the turnpike
It's taken me days to hitchhike
Ain't no love like me and you, oh no, no
I'm stuck on the turnpike
It's taken me days to hitchhike
Ain't no love like me and you
