"Hard Road" lyrics

Well my mom and dad, they told me
Boy, you're just a fool
When I told them I was leaving home
Told them I was leaving school
In a couple days I found myself
Heading down a south bound road
With everything I owned strapped to my back
Carrying a heavy load

It's a hard road that I traveled
Hard road that I traveled
Hard road that I traveled
Walking that line
Yeah it's a hard, hard road
Down the line

Hey, mom and dad, see I'm feeling good
Being a traveling man
'Cause I'm thinking what I'm doing and I'm doing it
Just as fast as I can
See, nobody's hanging things around my neck
Or putting me in no pigeonhole
I got my guitar strapped to my back
I'm gonna play some rock 'n' roll

It's a hard road that I traveled
It's hard road that I traveled
Hard road that I traveled
Walking that line
Yeah it's a hard, hard road
Walking that line
Walking that

I tell you mama
No one's hanging things around my neck
Or putting me in no pigeonhole
I got my strat on my back, I got my radio
I'm living a life of rock 'n' roll

It's a hard road that I traveled
On this hard road that I traveled
Hard road that I traveled
It's mine, straight down the line
It's a hard, hard road
Down the line

(Hard road that I traveled)
Traveling man (hard road that I traveled)
Doing what I want (hard road that I traveled)
As best I can
They get it (hard road that I traveled)
Rock 'n' roll (hard road that I traveled)
Saved my soul (hard road that I traveled)
Sweet rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Yeah, ah
Oh
Oh, oh, it's mine
Ooh
Walking the line
Yeah, the line
Oh

(Hard road that I traveled)
(Hard road that I traveled)
(Hard road that I traveled)

(Hard road that I traveled)
(Hard road that I traveled)
(Hard road that I traveled)
