The Road I Must Travel

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
