Hard Traveling

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed I've been havin' some hard travelin' way down the road I've been havin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin' [Refrain] I've been in some hard travelin', Lord [Verse 2] I've been ridin' them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed I've been ridin' them flat wheelers way down the road I've been ridin' them dead-enders, blind passengers, kickin' up cinders [Refrain] I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord [Verse 3] Well, I've been hittin' some hard-rock minin', I thought you knowed I've been leanin' on a pressure drill way down the road Hammer flyin', air-hole suckin', six foot of mud and sure been a-muckin' [Refrain] And I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord [Verse 4] Well, I've been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road Cuttin' that wheat, a-stackin' that hay, and tryin' make about a dollar a day [Refrain] And I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord [Verse 5] I've been workin' at Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed I've been pourin' red-hot slag way down the road I've been blastin', I've been firin', and I've been pourin' red-hot iron [Refrain] And I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord [Verse 6] Well, I've been layin' in a hard-rock jail, I thought you knowed I've been layin' out ninety days way down the road Mean old judge, he said to me, "It's ninety days for vagrancy" [Refrain] And I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord [Verse 7] Well, I've been walkin' that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed I've been hittin' that sixty-six way down the road Heavy load and a worried mind, lookin' for a woman that's hard to find [Refrain] And I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord
