Well, I climbed the seven summits and I swam the seven seas But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see Well, I fought in the jungles and I fought in the streets But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see Now, once I had a reason, don't know what it could be And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see Well, I sang to myself that I want to be free But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see I walked the empty desert and I was burned in the heat But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see Well, I crossed the frozen wasteland in the bitter cold did freeze And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see And I will knock on every door for I do not have a key And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see Well, I sang to myself that I want to be free But the road I must travel, it's 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 So I sang to myself that I want to be free But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see So when thirsty I will drink and when hungry I will steal But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see So tonight I walk in anger with worn shoes on my feet And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see And I will sing to myself that I'm gonna be free But the road I must travel, yeah, it's end I cannot see There's a sign along the highway but it's too dark now to read
