Well my Mum and Pop they told me boy you know your just a fool yes they did.
When I told them I was leaving home and I was leaving school, yes I was.
So in a couple of hours I found myself headin' down a south-bound road.
With everything I own upon my back, I carry such a heavy load.
Ooow, well it's a hard, long road that I travel.
Yeah, it's a hard, hard road that I travel.
It's a hard, hard road that I travel, down the line.
Well it's a hard, hard road down the line. I'll tell ya it is.
Well Mum and Pop see I feel good to be a travelling man, yes I do.
Cause I'm diggin' what I'm doin' and I'm doin' it as fast as I can yes I am.
Nobody's hangin' things around my neck or put me in a pidgeon hole.
I got my dog, I got my radio. Living on Rock and Roll.
Ooow, it's a hard, long road that I travel.
Yeah, it's a hard, hard road that I travel.
It's a hard, hard road that I travel, down the line.
And it's a hard, hard road down the line.
Tell ya mama.
Nobody's hangin' things around my neck or put me in a pidgeon hole.
I got my dog, I got my radio. Living on Rock and Roll.
Well it's a hard, long road that I travel.
Yeah, it's a hard, hard road that I travel.
It's a hard, hard road that I travel, down the line.
Yeah it's a hard, hard road down the line.
