This song gives you an idea of who I am, where I came from, how I got to where I am, and where I'm going next
A D A I’ve been lucky. That this road I’m on ain’t killed me A E A But the miles have worn a road map on my face A D A I keep pushin’ on even though my body’s weary A E A ‘Cause a Rambler can’t stay in just one place D A Every day I start that thousand-mile journey D E Every day I climb a little higher up that hill D E A D It’s a long and rocky road to where I’m going A E A And I keep moving just to keep from standing still The first rough road I hit was as a young boy When daddy passed and left us on our own. Momma couldn’t face the road without him Wasn’t long ‘til she joined him at the throne. On the road as a young man I learned plenty Learned how to use my wit and how to sweat I rode the rails and rode my thumb back in my twenties Meeting people and seeing things I won’t forget Now I’m a little older a little wiser And that road still stretches out beneath my feet I can’t wait to see with lies beyond the next hill I’m going there, ‘cause it won’t come to me. © Copyright 2007 Peter J.
