Hard Road

[Intro]

Yeah, ha

[Verse 1]

My mama 'n' papa told me, "Son, that you're just a fool"

When I told 'em I was leaving home, I was leaving school, yeah, yeah

So then in a couple of hours I found myself

Heading down that southbound road

With everything I owned on my back

I carried such a heavy load, yeah

[Chorus]

And it's a hard, hard road that I travel

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

[Verse 2]

Well I wanna tell ya friends

That it's good to be a travelling man

'Cause I'm doing what I want to

Living just the best that I can

Nobody putting rings around my neck

To put me in a pigeon hole

I've got my dog and my radio

To listen to some rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]

And it's a hard, hard road that I travel

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, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Nobody gonna put things 'round my neck

Or buy me no pigeon hole

I've got my dog and my radio

To listen to some rock 'n' roll, now listen

[Chorus]

And it's a hard, hard road that I travel

It's a hard, hard road that I travel

It's a hard, hard road that I travel down the line

It's a hard, hard road that I travel

It's a hard, hard road that I travel

It's a hard, hard road that I travel down the line, woo

It's a hard, hard road that I travel

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, yeah

Get out of here
