I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed |
|
I've been havin' some hard travelin', way down the road |
|
I've been havin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin' |
|
Been havin' some hard travelin', Lord |
|
I've been ridin' them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed |
|
I've been ridin' them flat wheelers, way down the road |
|
I've been ridin' them blind passengers, dead-enders, kickin' up cinders |
|
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord |
|
I've been hittin' some hard-rock minin', I thought you knowed |
|
I've been leanin' on a pressure drill, way down the road |
|
Hammer flyin', air hole suckin', six foot of mud and I shore been a muckin' |
|
And I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord |
|
I've been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed |
|
North Dakota to Kansas City, way down the road |
|
Cuttin' that wheat, stackin' that hay and I'm tryin' make 'bout a dollar a day |
|
And I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lord |
|
I've been working that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed |
|
I've been dumpin' that red-hot slag, way down the road |
|
I've been blasting, I've been a firin', I've been pourin' red-hot iron |
|
And I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord |
|
I've been layin' in a hard-rock jail, I thought you knowed |
|
I've been laying out 90 days, way down the road |
|
Damned old judge, he said to me, "It's 90 days for vagrancy" |
|
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lord |
