Let me tell you baby - If you want to pin me down
Better get your hammer, girl - and nail me to the ground
'Cause you won't find no grass stains
On the bottom of my feet
The only home I've ever known - is out there on the street.
You call me insane - Honey, That's my middle name
And I don't care which way the wind will blow
'Cause I don't know - So down the road I go.
Musical turn around
You see I tried to settle down - Not too long ago
You can lock my body up - But you can't calm my soul
I don't want to hurt you - Or put you on the shelf
But my daddy told me all my life
You've got to be yourself.
I'm sure there's lots of guys out there
Who've learned to tow the line
Compared to them my life may look a wreck
But girl, you've been to college
So you ahould know by now
And if you can't understand me
What the hell do you expect
I'm giving you fair warning - I'm gonna say goodbye
And when I'm walking out the door
There's so much highway out there
That I ain't never seen
And all I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline.
Repeat the chorus
Tag: Down the road I go
I'll see you around
'Cause I'm leaving town
Yeah, yeah, yeahhh (fades out).
