Traffic

Songwriter: Jim Gordon Ric Grech

Producer: Steve Winwood

[Verse 1]
Sitting in a transit all night long
Playing clubs and rocking right on
The road's much too long
Seems like I've been wasting my time
Wish I was home again sipping my wine

[Chorus]
And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
It's where I'm from, I'm on the road again

[Verse 2]
L.A. to London's a mighty long time
Eight hours flying can bring you down
Sitting near a suit whose red-neck's glowing
His eyes are moving but there's no life showing

[Chorus]
And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
It's where I'm from, I'm on the road again

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Now that I'm home again
Things sure much better
Biding my time with my little go-getter
No matter what they say
No matter what they do
Gonna end up in the middle of that rock 'n' roll stew

[Chorus]
And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
It's where I'm from, I'm on the road again

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
(Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone)

British psychedelic pop/rock band Traffic found success in both the UK and the US, captivating listeners with a broad array of genre-bending instrumentation.

Traffic was formed in 1967 when Steve Winwood parted ways with the Spencer Davis Group to join drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and woodwind and keys player Chris Wood in their exploration of psychedelia and the tougher variations of late-sixties rock.
