[Verse 1]
Please don't hate me Mama
For what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together
Are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me
I'd hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better
If I told you now goodbye

[Chorus]
I'm back on the road again
It's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time
That I'm around
Until then I hope you're happy, baby
And good times come your way
I'm back on the road again
I'm on my way

[Verse 2]
Well, I've loved you since the day I met you
And I'll love you 'till the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin'
And we both know the reason why
That I've got to leave ya Mama
And I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time
That I come through your town to play

[Chorus]
I'm back on the road again
It's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time
That I'm around
Until then I hope you're happy, baby
And good times come your way
I'm back on the road again
I'm on my way

[Interlude]
I'm on my way
Oh, bye-bye baby

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Chorus]
I'm back on the road again
It's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time
That I'm around, yeah
Until then I hope you're happy, baby
And good times come your way
I'm back on the road again
I'm on my way

[Bridge]
I'm back on the road again
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Bye-bye baby

[Guitar Solo 2]
