Got a big leather suitcase, all I own's inside Seems I've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory Take you to another place in time Completely change your state of mind Walkin' down a lonely highway not feelin' alone Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road I'm on Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory Take you to another place in time Completely change your state of mind It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love It can get you singin' along Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above A melody can bring back a memory Take you to another place in time Completely change your state of mind A melody can bring back a memory Take you to another place in time Completely change your state of mind
