Hit the Road

I went out on an early mornin run,
Got a couple of hours ahead of the sun
Movin’ down the road and a headin’ West,
Brought what I needed and I lift the rest
I broke down in Loyd border town,
Outa money guess im gonna be stickin around
Got a job loadin up oil filed trucks,
Managed to set aside a couple of bucks
So I could

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 spread my wings and fly
Every days another gift we get be for we die

Lights fill up the sky on the fourth of July,
Cant seem to settle down even when I try
Another year comes and another year go’s,
Got freedom in my heart and energy in my toes
My tent set at the bottom of a big tall tree,
I wonder if any body’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

RE-CHORUS

I’m on the road again with my thumb in the air,
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
Met a Mexican boy didn’t know a word he spoke,
The universal language was a good smooth toke. And I

RE-CHORUS

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,
When ever I stay put the devil crawls inside of me
An when the wind blows and the snow falls down,
That’s my cue to head for a southern town
An maybe I’ll meet a girl who wears a smile all day,
She could be the one to love the devil away. And I

RE-CHORUS X2
