From the album ARABESQUE (1982)

I've never been to Cleveland when the sun was shining
Even when it shines it looks like rain
Well I'm passing through and I'm roadburned again

Well people say that I've adjusted well to travelling
Still I'm feeling homesick now and then
You know I'm passing through and I'm on the move
And I'm roadburned, roadburned again

And you know I sure hope
It's just this plane ride that will bring me down
That will bring me down
And you know I sure hope it's just this one more plane ride
Before I'm home, oh I wanna go home

If you touch the ground in Bokomah, Oklahoma
You never kill yourself so I've been told
Oh magic places are consolation for roadburn, roadburned again

And I know I sure hope
It's just this plane ride that will bring me down
That will bring me down
And you know I sure hope it's just this one more plane ride
Before I'm home, I wanna go home

I never been to Cleveland when the sun was shining
Even when it shines it looks like rain
Well I'm passing through and I'm on the move
And I'm roadburned, roadburned again
I've got this groove and I'm on the move
And I'm roadburned, roadburned again
I'm cuttin' tracks and I won't come back
'Cause I'm roadburned, roadburned again
