Hard Travelin’ (1976 Album Version)

I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been havin' some hard travelin' way down the road
I've have doin' some hard ramblin', hard drinkin', hard gamblin'
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord

I've been ridin' them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed
I've been ridin' them flat wheelers way down the road
I've been ridin' them dead-enders, blind passengers kickin' up cinders
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord

I've been hittin' some hard-rock minin', I thought you knowed
I've been leanin' on a pressure drill way down the road
Hammer flyin' an' air-hosе suckin', six feet of mud and I sure been a muckin'
I'm havin' some hard travelin', Lord

I'vе been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed
North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road
Cuttin' that wheat, stackin' that hay, tryin' to make about a dollar a day
Yeh, I'm havin' some hard travelin', Lord

I've been working that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed
I've been pourin' that red-hot slag way down the road
I've been blasting, I've been firin', I've been pourin' red-hot iron
I'm havin' some hard travelin', Lord

Hey!
I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been havin' some hard travelin' way down the road
I've been havin' some hard gamblin', hard drinkin', hard ramblin'
I've been havin' some, hard travelin', Lord

I've been a-layin' in a hard-rock jail, I thought you knowed
I've been a-laying out 90 days way down the road
Hey, the mean old judge, he says to me, "It's 90 days for vagrancy."
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lo-wow!

I've been walking that Lincoln highway, I thought you knowed
I've been hittin' that 66, way down the road
Heavy load and a worried mind, lookin' for a woman that's so hard to find
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord

Here we go now
I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been havin' some hard travelin' mmm way down the road
I've been havin' some hard ramblin', hard drinkin', hard gamblin'
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord!
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord
Watch me go now
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord!
Yeah…
