On The Road.
Verse:
I was raised by a railway track,
On the wrong side of town.
Father was a working man,
Face a hard worn frown.
Verse:
Freight yards were my playing fields,
Dodging loco's wheels.
Trains passed by, I read the signs.
Places seemed unreal.
Refrain:
At 15 years I took my chance,
Hid on a train going any place.
When it stopped, and I got off,
Noone knew my face.
Verse:
Open skies are in my eyes,
I'll never settle down,
I may arrive but I'll soon be gone,
Heading out of town.
Refrain:
So don't you try and hold my coat
I won't be slowed I'm on the road.
When I die by a dusty track,
I'll be on my own.
Verse:
I'm alone inside my head
That's the way its gonna be.
Moving on from place to place,
Is the nearest to be free.
Refrain:
Horizon's call and beckon me.
Whatever's there, I've gotta see.
I'm on the road with the lightest load.
I'm on the road.
