Hard Road

When my mom and dad, they told me
I'm just a fool
When I told them I was leaving home
Told them I was leaving school
In a couple days, I found myself
Heading down a south-bound road
With everything I owned strapped to my back
Yet I haven't learned

It's a hard road that I travel
Hard road that I travel
Hard road that I travel
Walk in that line
Yeah, it's a hard, hard road
Down the line

Hey mom and dad, see, I'm feeling good
Being a traveling man
'Cause I'm thinking what I'm doing and I'm doing it
Just as fast as I can
See nobody's hanging things around my neck, or putting me in no
I got my guitar strapped to my back
I'm gonna play some rock an' roll

It's a hard road that I travel
It's hard road that I travel
Hard road that I travel
Walk in the line
Yeah, it's a hard, hard road
Walk in that line, walk in that

I tell you mama
No one's hanging things around my neck
Or putting me in, no
I got my strat on my back, I got my radio
I'm living a life of rock an' roll

It's a hard road that I travel
On this hard road that I travel
Hard road that I travel
It's mine, straight down the line
It's a hard, hard road
Down the line

(Hard road that I travel)
Traveling man (hard road that I travel)
Doing what I want (hard road that I travel)
As best I can
They get it (hard road that I travel)
Saved my soul (hard road that I travel)
Sweet rock an' roll

Oh, whoa
Yeah, ah
Oh
Oh, oh
It's mine
Ooh
Walking the line
Yeah, the line
Oh

(Hard road that I travel)
(Hard road that I travel)
(Hard road that I travel)
(Hard road that I travel)
(Hard road that I travel)
(Hard road that I travel)
