Lyrics
Got here this morning,
Leaving on Saturday,
Two nights in Boston,
And we're out on the road again,
While part of your self, stays with friends that you've made.
Rolling the highways,
Living the way we do,
Not truck driving men,
But only half of the gigs, the show,
Makes London to Glasgow, seem like down the road you know,
But we're out on the road,
That's part of the load,
The load.
Pull in for dinner,
Homes four thousand miles away,
Write to your lady,
Not knowing quite what to say,
You only know, you never ask her to wait.
Houston in Texas,
Two hundred miles or so,
Last stop for supper,
With just one tuna fish to go,
No time to smile, no time to say, one small hello,
But we're out on the road,
That's part of the load,
The load.
Personnel (Anyway, 1970): Whitney: guitar; Chapman: vocals and percussion; Townsend: drums; Weider: bass; Palmer: piano, vibes and drums

Is there any info on the 1978 gigs with Dean Ford ? With Charlie Whitney, Rob Townsend and Charlie McCracken. I think they played The Music Machine Camden February 1978 as The Dean Ford Band
