Carry on Down the Road

[Verse 1]
There was a man who worked in the city
Society told him he had to make money
He worked in an office on 4th & Main
A mighty fine place for going insane
One day he got on the wrong commute
It took him to the country still wearing his suit
Now he works the road as a hitchhiking man
Singing this song all across the land

[Chorus]
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down that road
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down that road

[Verse 2]
Another man had a broken heart
He spent a lot of time down in the dark
Couldn’t wake him up with his mama’s own shout
Couldn’t use a crane to pull him out
One day a pretty woman passed him by
So good looking that he opened his eyes
To all his troubles hе said so long
Chased her up the road just singing this song

[Chorus]
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down that road
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down that road

[Verse 3]
Thеre was a young man who went to jail
Didn’t have a friend to pay his bail
Serving for a crime that he didn’t mean to do
Made a few mistakes like me and you
Finally got out, the world hadn’t changed
Still full of hate, still full of blame
He learned his lesson it was plain to see
It’s one-in-a-million who really is free

[Chorus]
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down that road
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down that road

[Verse 4]
There was a skinny kid who was good at math
Always got picked on after class
They stuffed him in a locker with a sign that said
"You can’t solve every problem using your head"
Five years later he’s taking a trip
Flying over Earth in a rocket ship
He looked out the window and he said with a smile
"So long suckers I’m leaving in style"

[Chorus]
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down the road
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down the road

[Verse 5]
If you’re one of those people who don’t belong
I’m here to give ya your very own song
Oldest song in history, saved a lot of people from their misery
You can sing it of you’re high, you can sing it if you’re low
Sing it in the still, sing it on the go
If you’re broken and you wanna be fixed
Remember these words and they go like this

[Chorus]
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down the road
I got to go, I got to go, I got to carry on down the road
