[00:05.66] Can you hear me now?
[00:13.17] But anyway.
[00:14.85] Tonight also, I wrote a song, called “On the Road”.
[00:20.77] I’m just rather reading what I wrote all night.
[00:24.35] There are better things coming than what I wrote all night.
[00:27.50] Straight from the mind to the voice, with no hand intervening.
[00:31.38] Well, I left New York 1949.
[00:35.08] (To)go across the country (wi)thout a dad-blame dime.
[00:39.68] Montana in the cold, cold fall.
[00:42.87] Found my father in the gambling hall.
[00:46.72] Father, Father where have you been?
[00:50.95] Been out here in the world since I was 10.
[00:54.54] Dear son, he said don’t worry about me.
[00:59.76] I’m about to die of pleurisy.
[01:06.93] Cross the Mississippi, cross the Tennessee,
[01:11.72] cross the Niagara, home I’ll never be.
[01:15.56] Home in Ol’Medora, home in Ol’Truckee.
[01:19.16] Apalachicola, home I’ll never be.
[01:23.34] For better or worse, through thick and thin.
[01:26.39] Like being married to the little woman.
[01:32.16] God loved me just like I loved him.
[01:35.15] Wants you to do just the same for him.
[01:39.71] The worms eat away but don’t worry, watch the wind.
[01:42.36] The worms eat away but don’t worry, watch the wind.
[01:46.82] So I left Montana in an Ol’freight train.
[01:51.64] The night my father died in the cold, cold rain.
[01:54.68] Rode up to Opelousas, rode to Wounded Knee,
[01:58.85] Rode to Ogallala, home I’ll never be.
[02:02.19] Home I’ll never be.
[02:05.26] Home I’ll never be.
