I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you knowed
I been doin' some hard ramblin'
Way down the road
I been doin' some hard ramblin'
Hard drinkin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin', Lord
I been doin' some hard rock minin'
I thought you knowed
I been a-leanin' on a pressure drill
Way down the road
Hammer flyin', air hose suckin'
Six feet of mud, I sure been a-muckin'
I been doin'some travelin', Lord
I been a-laying in a hard rock jail
I thought you knowed
I been a-layin' out 90 days
Way down the road
Well a mean old judge he said to me
It's 90 days for vagrancy
And I been doin'some travelin', Lord
I been ridin' them fast passengers
I thought you knowed
I bin hittin' them flat wheelers
Way down the road
I bin riding them blind passengers
Dead enders, pickin' up cinders
And I been doin'some travelin', Lord
I been doin' some hard harvestin'
I thought you knowed
North Dakota to Kansas Ciity
Way down the road
Cuttin' that wheat and stackin' that hay
Tryin' to make about a dollar a day
I been doin' some hard harvestin', Lord
I been a-walkin' that Lincoln Highway
I thought you knowed
I been a-hittin' that sixty-six
Way down the road
Got a heavy load and a worried mind
Lookin' for a woman that's hard to find
I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord
