The Road I Must Travel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I climbed the seven summits And I swam the seven seas But the road I must travel Its end I cannot see Well 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 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 [Verse 2] I walked the empty desert And I was burned in the heat But the road I must travel Its end I cannot see Well 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 [Verse 3] 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 my ass Before I struck again So I sang to myself That I want to be free But the road I must travel Its end I cannot see [Verse 4] 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 And 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 [Outro] There's a sign along the highway But it's too dark now to read
