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

[Instrumental Outro]
