Hard Road

When my mom and dad, they told me

I'm just a fool

When I told them I was leaving home

Told them I was leaving school

In a couple days, I found myself

Heading down a south-bound road

With everything I owned strapped to my back

Yet I haven't learned

It's a hard road that I travel

Hard road that I travel

Hard road that I travel

Walk in that line

Yeah, it's a hard, hard road

Down the line

Hey mom and dad, see, I'm feeling good

Being a traveling man

'Cause I'm thinking what I'm doing and I'm doing it

Just as fast as I can

See nobody's hanging things around my neck, or putting me in no

I got my guitar strapped to my back

I'm gonna play some rock an' roll

It's a hard road that I travel

It's hard road that I travel

Hard road that I travel

Walk in the line

Yeah, it's a hard, hard road

Walk in that line, walk in that

I tell you mama

No one's hanging things around my neck

Or putting me in, no

I got my strat on my back, I got my radio

I'm living a life of rock an' roll

It's a hard road that I travel

On this hard road that I travel

Hard road that I travel

It's mine, straight down the line

It's a hard, hard road

Down the line

(Hard road that I travel)

Traveling man (hard road that I travel)

Doing what I want (hard road that I travel)

As best I can

They get it (hard road that I travel)

Saved my soul (hard road that I travel)

Sweet rock an' roll

Oh, whoa

Yeah, ah

Oh

Oh, oh

It's mine

Ooh

Walking the line

Yeah, the line

Oh

(Hard road that I travel)

(Hard road that I travel)

(Hard road that I travel)

(Hard road that I travel)

(Hard road that I travel)

(Hard road that I travel)
