| Ever since I was a child
|
| I loved to wander wild
|
| Through the bright city lights
|
| And find myself a life I could call my own
|
| It was always my ambition
|
| To see Piccadilly
|
| Ramble and roam around Soho
|
| And Pimlico and Savile Row
|
| And walk down the Abbey Road
|
| So I saved all my money
|
| And packed up my clothes
|
| And I said good-bye to my friends
|
| And my folks back home
|
| And I left for a life of my own
|
| I left for a life on the road
|
| I’m a real hungry tyke
|
| And I know what I like
|
| And I know where I’m goin':
|
| To those bright city lights
|
| Oh yeah, oh yeah
|
| This time I’m gonna get there
|
| I’m bound for a life on the road
|
| Give me life on the road
|
| I said life on the road
|
| When I arrived in Euston
|
| I was little more than a child
|
| And I didn’t know then
|
| That the dives and the dens
|
| Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild
|
| Mama always told me
|
| The city ladies were bawdy and bold
|
| And so I searched night and day
|
| To catch a kissable lady
|
| But all that I caught was a cold
|
| 'Cause those stuck-up city ladies
|
| Didn’t notice me walk by
|
| Now I’ve got holes in my shoes
|
| 'Cause I’ve been walkin' the streets all night
|
| And I’m livin' the life that I chose
|
| Livin' my life on the road
|
| I said life on the road
|
| I want life on the road
|
| Life on the road
|
| I was standing with the punks in Praed Street
|
| When a muscle man came my way
|
| He said, «Hey, are you gay?
|
| Can you come out and play?»
|
| And like a fool, I went and said, «O.K.»
|
| Ever since I was knee high
|
| I thought the city was paved with gold
|
| But I’ve seen so many losers
|
| And down and out boozers
|
| Who were tired of bein' bought and sold
|
| City women are a tease
|
| But I’d really love to please
|
| Now I’ve got blood shot eyes
|
| 'Cause I’ve been walkin' the streets all night
|
| And it sure knocks you out on the road
|
| And I’m livin' my life on the road
|
| I said life on the road
|
| Life on the road
|
| I want life on the road
|
| One of these days
|
| I wanna go home
|
| Visit my friends
|
| And see all the places that I used to know
|
| And say good-bye to a world that’s too real;
|
| Good-bye to a world that’s forgotten how to feel
|
| And it’s slowly usin' me
|
| And there’s no security
|
| Sometimes I hate the road
|
| But it’s the only life I know
|
| But I’m livin' the life that I chose
|
| So I’ll live out my life on the road
|
| Give me life on the road
|
| I said life on the road |
