Road I Must Travel

Well, I climbed the seven summits



and I swam the seven seas



But the road I must travel



its end I cannot see



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



But 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



I walked the empty desert



and was burned in the heat



But the road I must travel



its end I cannot see



I crossed the frozen wasteland



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



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 find my ass



before I struck again



Well I sang to myself



that I want to be free



But the road I must travel



its end I cannot see



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



But 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



There’s a sign along the highway



But it’s too dark now to read
