SUGAR MAN

one day i’m gonna get tired of sugar, cane beet and corn sweet and bee honey too
one day i’m gonna get tired of sugar, sugar man i won’t never get tired of you

one day i’m gonna get tired of travelling, gas station gourmet and highway haiku
one day i’m gonna get tired of travelling, travelling man i won’t never get tired of you

never get tired never get tired sugar man i won’t never get tired of you

one day i’m gonna get sick of this city, traffic and trash people acting so cruel
one day i’m gonna get sick of this city, city man i won’t never get sick of you

and when i get bored with the city i will find a valley home
and when i get too old to ramble round i will stay there all year long
and when i get sick of sugar i’ll eat crackers beans and tea
oh but sugar man sugar man, don’t you get sick of me

never get tired never get tired sugar man i won’t never get tired of you
