Lyrics:

(h. vanda / g. young)My mama 'n' papa told me son that you're just a foolWhen I told 'em I was leaving home I was leaving schoolSo then in a couple of hours I found myselfHeading down that southbound roadWith everything I owned on my backI carried such a heavy loadAnd it's a hard, hard road that I travelIt's a hard, hard road that I travelIt's a hard, hard road that I travel down the lineAnd it's a hard, hard road down the line[Hard Road lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]Well I wanna tell ya friendsThat it's good to be a traveling man'cause I'm doing what I want toLiving just the best that I canNobody putting rings around my neckTo put me in a pigeon holeI've got my dog and my radioTo listen to some rock 'n' rollAnd it's a hard, hard road that I travelIt's a hard, hard road that I travelIt's a hard, hard road that I travel down the lineAnd it's a hard, hard road down the line
