Well I climbed the seven summits
|
And I swam the seven seas
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
I fought in the jungles
|
And I fought in the streets
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
Once I had a reason
|
Don't know what it could be
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
Well I sang to myself
|
That I want to be free
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
|
I walked the empty desert
|
And I was burned in the heat
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
I crossed the frozen wasteland
|
And in the bitter cold did freeze
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
And I will knock on every door
|
For I do not have a key
|
And the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
Well I sang to myself
|
That I want to be free
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
|
They shot a man in Soho
|
Couldn't guess his age
|
I found his empty journal
|
I filled up every page
|
I called up my state senator
|
They said he wasn't there
|
The secretary took my name
|
And man she sounded scared
|
So I counted my misfortunes
|
I added up the blame
|
I picked through all the garbage
|
I checked off all the names
|
I read in the newspaper
|
They'd questioned all my friends
|
They hoped that they could find me
|
Before I struck again
|
Well I sang to myself
|
That I want to be free
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
|
So when thirsty I will drink
|
When hungry I will steal
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
So tonight I walk in anger
|
With worn shoes on my feet
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
And I will sing to myself
|
That I'm gonna be free
|
But the road I must travel
|
Its end I cannot see
|
|
There's a sign along the highway
|
But it's too dark now to read
|
