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
