HIT THE ROAD
I went out on an early morning run,
Got a couple of hours ahead of the sun
Movin’ down the road and headin’ west
I brought what I needed and I left the rest
I broke down in Loyd border town,
Out of money, guess I’m gonna be stickin’ around
Got a job loading up oil field trucks
And I managed to set aside a couple of bucks
And I…
Chorus
Hit the road like a free man can, see the mountains and the rivers and the desert and the sand
And like a free bird I spread my wings and fly, every day’s another gift we get before we die
Lights fill up the sky on the fourth of July
Can’t seem to settle down even when I try
Another year comes and another year go’s
I got freedom in my heart and energy in my toes
My tent set at the bottom of a big tall tree and
I wonder if anybody’s thinking ‘bout me
My mind drifts back to my brother and I
Splashin’ in the river, now he’s watchin’ from the sky
And I…
So I’m on the road again with my thumb in the air
If I get a ride or not I don’t really care
There’s flowers all around me, the air is smellin’ so sweet
I got a song inside my head and I’m a tappin’ my feet
Now I met lots of people and they all got dreams
Learned a lot of lessons, one is nothing’s ever as it seems
I met a Mexican boy, I didn’t know a word he spoke
The universal language was a good smooth toke
And I…
Now I keep on a rollin’ with a guitar in my hand
I’ll be lookin’ for a town that needs a one man band
Jasper gave me home but it was not to be
Whenever I stay put the devil crawls inside of me
And when the wind blows and the snow falls down
That’s my cue to head for a southern town
And maybe I’ll meet a girl that wears a smile all day
She could be the one to love the devil away
And I…
