"Call Of The Road" lyrics

"Call Of The Road"

When I was a boy, I had to know
What I would find just over the hill
And while still a lad, I had to go
And so you see I'm rambling still

Life's golden cup was filled for me
With happiness, and measures untold
But I left the one, who cared for me
A treasure's worth, so much more than gold

Young men that roam, take heed today
The call of the road, can be so unkind
It will lead you on, like a fickle kiss
And a wasted life, is all you'll ever find
