[00:00.90]Life On the Road - The Kinks

[00:01.00]
[00:03.14]Ever since I was a child 

[00:03.70]
[00:04.95]I loved to wander wild

[00:05.00]
[00:06.71]Through the bright city lights 

[00:08.46]And find myself a life I could call my own 

[00:13.21]
[00:16.21]It was always my ambition

[00:17.13]
[00:18.87]To see Piccadilly 

[00:19.31]
[00:22.69]Ramble and roam around Soho

[00:22.71]
[00:24.97]And Pimlico and Savile Row 

[00:25.25]
[00:28.13]And walk down the Abbey Road 

[00:29.93]
[00:33.19]So I saved all my money

[00:34.88]
[00:37.12]And packed up my clothes 

[00:38.12]
[00:41.40]And I said good-bye to my friends

[00:42.01]
[00:44.65]And my folks back home 

[00:46.85]
[00:52.67]And I left for a life of my own 

[00:55.33]
[01:00.95]I left for a life on the road 

[01:06.70]
[01:09.59]I'm a real hungry tyke 

[01:09.96]
[01:12.59]And I know what I like 

[01:12.92]
[01:15.42]And I know where I'm going

[01:16.85]
[01:18.30]To those bright city lights 

[01:18.73]
[01:20.54]Oh yeah  oh yeah 

[01:21.50]This time I'm gonna get there 
 
[01:25.94]
[01:29.62]I'm bound for a life on the road 

[01:30.82]
[01:32.64]Give me life on the road 

[01:34.55]
[01:36.36]I said life on the road 

[01:40.61]
[01:42.73]When I arrived in Euston 

[01:42.92]
[01:45.79]I was little more than a child 

[01:45.91]And I didn't know then

[01:48.29]That the dives and the dens

[01:50.00]
[01:51.30]Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild 

[01:51.63]Mama always told me

[01:54.76]
[01:56.52]The city ladies were bawdy and bold 

[01:57.47]
[01:58.35]And so I searched night and day

[01:58.38]To catch a kissable lady 

[02:00.62]But all that I caught was a cold 

[02:03.81]'Cause those stuck-up city ladies

[02:07.30]
[02:08.05]Didn't notice me walk by 

[02:09.37]
[02:10.61]Now I've got holes in my shoes

[02:11.18]'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night 

[02:16.52]
[02:20.33]And I'm livin' the life that I chose 

[02:22.73]
[02:25.98]Livin' my life on the road 

[02:27.81]
[02:29.06]I said life on the road 

[02:30.26]
[02:32.79]I want life on the road 

[02:34.04]
[02:35.73]Life on the road 

[02:38.91]
[02:41.61]I was standing with the punks in Praed Street 

[02:42.63]
[02:44.18]When a muscle man came my way 

[02:45.10]
[02:46.04]He said  "Hey  are you gay 

[02:46.54]Can you come out and play "

[02:48.93]And like a fool  I went and said  "O K "

[02:51.24]Ever since I was knee high 

[02:53.05]I thought the city was paved with gold 

[02:55.99]
[02:57.93]But I've seen so many losers

[02:58.53]And down and out boozers

[02:59.97]Who were tired of bein' bought and sold 

[03:01.70]
[03:05.28]City women are a tease 

[03:06.55]
[03:08.62]But I'd really love to please 

[03:09.19]
[03:10.14]Now I've got blood shot eyes

[03:11.00]
[03:12.58]'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night 

[03:15.24]
[03:18.94]And it sure knocks you out on the road 

[03:21.23]
[03:25.42]And I'm livin' my life on the road 

[03:26.06]
[03:28.50]I said life on the road 

[03:30.01]
[03:31.33]Life on the road 

[03:32.33]
[03:34.13]I want life on the road 

[03:38.57]
[03:39.90]One of these days 

[03:40.56]I wanna go home 

[03:41.94]Visit my friends 

[03:42.87]
[03:46.50]And see all the places that I used to know 

[03:47.99]
[03:51.25]And say good-bye to a world that's too real;

[03:52.01]
[03:55.63]Good-bye to a world that's forgotten how to feel 

[03:58.42]
[04:00.54]And it's slowly usin' me 

[04:01.61]And there's no security 

[04:04.74]
[04:05.74]Sometimes I hate the road 

[04:07.17]
[04:09.68]But it's the only life I know 

[04:11.94]
[04:17.26]But I'm livin' the life that I chose 

[04:19.57]
[04:25.50]So I'll live out my life on the road 

[04:27.53]
[04:29.09]Give me life on the road 

[04:31.29]
[04:32.09]I said life on the road 


[04:33.09]
[04:34.35][04:35.09]
I said life on the road 

[04:37.16][04:38.09]Give me life on the road
