So Many Roads > Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Thought I heard a blackbird singin′
Up on Bluebird Hill
Call me a whinin' boy if you will
Born where the sun don′t shine
And I don't deny my name
Got no place to go, ain't that a shame?

Thought I heard that KC whistle
Moanin′ sweet & low
Thought I heard that KC when she blow
Down where the sun don′t shine
Underneath the Kokomo
Whinin' boy -- got no place else to go


So many roads I tell you
So many roads I know
So many roads --
So many roads --
Mountain high, river wide
So many roads to ride
So many roads
So many roads

Thought I heard a jug band playin′
"If you don't -- who else will?"
From over on the far side of the hill
All I know the sun don′t shine,
The rain refuse to fall
And you don't seem to hear me when I call

Wind inside & the wind outside
Tangled in the window blind
Tell me why you treat me so unkind
Down where the sun don′t shine
Lonely and I call your name
No place left to go, ain't that a shame?

So many roads I tell you
New York to San Francisco
All I want is one
To take me home
From the high road to the low
So many roads I know
So many roads - So many roads


From the land of the midnight sun
Where ice blue roses grow
'Long those roads of gold and silver snow
Howlin′ wide or moanin low
So many roads I know
So many roads to ease my soul
