Standard (EADGBE)

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.
