In this longer and rockier live version, recorded at the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) event of 2009 (last song in the video, min. 15:19), there is a different order of the verses from the ca.1975 recording, and what appears to be some improvised ones, as they are not in the lyrics...
I am the wanderer
My home is the road
Fire on the mountain
I've got no fixed abode
Watch out you don't get burned
I'm too wild for you
Don't let me get you down
I'm only passing through
My home is the road
My home is the road
I left it all behind me
A million years ago
And now they'll never find me
And now they'll never know which way I've gone
I'm movin' on
My home is the road
My home is the road
My home is the road
Feel the wind in my hair
Nothin' to hold me anywhere
No place to rest my head
I won't stop until I'm dead
My home is the road
My home is the road
There was a woman once somewhere
So many years ago
She left me or I left her
I can't remember anymore
There was a garden
And an apple tree, and a little boy
A rocking chair almost got me
Now I'm fortune's toy
My home is the road
My home is the road, I gotta get goin'
Got my load on my shoulder
I'm not gettin' anywhere but older
Walkin' in town like a wild lion
You know I'm feeling fine
My home is the road
My home is the road
Feel the wind in my hair
Nothin' to hold me anywhere
No place to rest my head
I won't stop until I'm dead
My home is the road
My home is the road
My home is the road
My home is the road
My home is the road
My home is the road…
