He's the king of the road 
The old man, the child 
The joker runnin' wild, makin' it funny 
He's of no fixed abode 
When he carries the load 
He'll do anything he can to make it funny 

But he'll never say die 
If he's livin' a lie 
Pick up his hat and go 
If there's reason to cry 
He'll just make it a sigh 
And wander on down the road 

He's a natural friend 
With the money to lend 
Or whatever it takes to turn you on, too 
He's the father, the son 
He don't owe anyone 
All his debts are all paid 
With his confection 

Then he'll wander away 
With no time in his way 
Pick up his hat and go 
He'll never say die 
If he's livin' a lie 
Just wander on down the road 
Wander on down the road 

And he'll wander away 
With no time in his way 
Pick up his hat and go 
He never said die 
He was livin' a lie 
Just wandered on down the road 
Wandered on down the road 
Wandered on down the road 

Ahhhhh 
Mmmmmmmmm 
Ahhhhh.
