Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson
Hello Sunday! Hello Road!
[Intro: Gil Scott-Heron]
Yeah. Yeah
[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron]
Agent told me where I'm going
And Tom and Keg Leg got the map
The Steelers on my color TV
And Henry riding in my lap
I said, “Hello Sunday! Hello Road!”
Lord, and what would my grandma say?
To see me out here loving music
So much that I live this way
But then again, she's right here with me
Watching every place I go
Woah, did you tell me it was my move? Yes it is
Say, “Hello Sunday! Hello Road!”
Hello Sunday! Hello Road!
[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron]
Manager we had just couldn't manage
So Midnight managed right along
And it's got me out here with my brothers
And that's the thing that keep me strong
Say, “Hello Sunday! Hello Road!”
Seems like we're coming up on a town
And the children on their way to Sunday school
And I'm tipping my hat to Miss Chocolate Brown
And it was on a Sunday I met my old man
I was twenty-six years old
No, but it was much too late to speculate
I said, “Hello Sunday! Hello Road!”
Hello Sunday! Hello Road!
[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron]
And I've been digging life through my window
And that's the way it's always been
There’s snow in Nashville, rain in Philly
No matter. Get back on the bus again
Say, “Hello Sunday! Hello Road!”
Don’t get down, try the optimistic side
‘Cause me and Stick done seen a lot of babies
Dancing to "The Bottle" while we ride
It's sure ‘nough good being with the brothers
Carry good news wherever we go
Yeah, well let me get myself together, man
Say, “Hello Sunday! Hello Road!”
Hello Sunday! Hello Road!
