Hey, Buddy!
Look at me!
I'm makin' a road
For the cars to fly by on,
Makin' a road
Through the palmetto thicket
For light and civilization
To travel on.
I'm makin' a road
For the rich to sweep over
In their big cars
And leave me standin' here.
Sure,
A road helps everybody.
Rich folks ride —
And I get to see 'em ride.
I ain't never seen nobody Ride so fine before.
Hey, Buddy, look!
I'm makin' a road!
