Songtexte (Roamin' Thro' The Gloamin' With) 40.000 Headman - Live - Traffic

Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
If I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind
I know just where my feet should go, and that's enough for me
So I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea

Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a-sailing off towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette, I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot

Oh, filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds, I found a golden shrine

Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell, hoping I hadn't come too late
Then someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was, he said, "Just look behind"

Well, I turned around and forty thousand headmen hit the dirt
Firing 20 shotguns each, and man, it really hurt
But luckily for me, they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done that, I was heading down the road

Heading down the road

Heading down the road

Rolling and rambling
Rolling and rambling
Rolling and rambling
With forty thousand headmen on my trail
Ooh

Forty thousand headmen on my trail

Thank you
