The Journey

I was born one rainy morning in a little house across town Daddy liked to roam leave mama alone She just couldn't tie him down He liked his gamblin and whiskey And mama just liked to cook and sew It made me a man before my time I felt many a cold wind blow Worked real hard most all of my life Bought a farmhouse out in the sticks Set by the fire most every night Working on my guitar licks Before too long I was on my way Playing from town to town I guess I'm a little like daddy was Gotta keep on moving around Chorus: >this journey takes me far away from home Sometimes it makes me feel so alone So alone Now I look back on yesterday Wondering what I'd done Did I help somebody along the way Or did I just look out for number one I know I can't change a thing So don't put me down Cause I didn't cling to your heart Oh I feel like dying when we're apart Chorus: This journey takes me far away from home With nothing left to hold on to But a voice from the telephone It's taken me away from every love I've ever known Sometimes it makes me feel so alone So alone
