The bus is on the road, sweet Georgia fades away,
We'll be burnin down Louisianna by the very next day.
No sleep will ever take me,
My mind is stuck on you.
Oh you better be laying away,
Thinking of the tune.
I'll ask one thing,
(I'll ask one thing)
And I'll bet you'll be true,
(And I'll bet you'll be true)
The thing I'm asking of you.
Save me some sugar,
This won't take long.
I won't promise to stay the night,
I won't sing you no song.
Save me some sugar,
That's all I'll ask of you.
You're my old lady,
But the road's my lady too.
(Ahhh yeah)
(Hm)
(Alright)
Thankyou for your sugar,
Sugar you brought down the night.
I was seeing stars on the bedroom walls,
Full moon in your eyes.
This don't mean nothing,
Well I'll just pass the time.
But part of you I'll take with me,
But most I'll leave behind.
One day I'll be back.
(Yeah I'll be back)
It might not be too soon.
(Might not be too soon)
I pray there's something left of you.
Save me some sugar,
This won't take long.
Don't give it too much,
I won't be there when you fall.
Save me some sugar,
That's all you gotta do.
Anything left over,
I'll take that too.
I'll ask one thing,
(I'll ask one thing)
And I'll bet you'll be true,
(And I'll bet you'll be true)
The thing I'm asking of you.
Save me some sugar,
This won't take long.
I won't promise to stay the night,
I won't sing you no song.
Save me some sugar,
That's all I'll ask of you.
You're my old lady,
But the road's my lady too.
Oh the road's my lady too,
But the road,
The road's my lady too.
