The Road I Must Travel

Well I climbed the seven summits

And I swam the seven seas

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

I fought in the jungles

And I fought in the streets

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Once I had a reason

Don't know what it could be

And the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Well I sang to myself

That I want to be free

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Nanana na na na

I walked the empty desert

And I was burned in the heat

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

I crossed the frozen wasteland

In the bitter cold, did freeze

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

And I will knock on every door

If I do not have a key

And the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Well I sang to myself

That I want to be free

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Nanana na na na

They shot a man in Soho

Couldn't guess his age

I found his empty journal

I filled up every page

I called up my state senator

They said he wasn't there

The secretary took my name

And man, she sounded scared

So I counted my misfortune

I added up the blame

I picked through all the garbage

I checked off all the names

I read in the newspaper

They'd questioned all my friends

They hoped that they could find my ass

Before I struck again

So I sang to myself

That I want to be free

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

So when thirsty I will drink

And when hungry I will steal

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

So tonight I walk in anger

With worn shoes on my feet

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

And I will sing to myself

That I'm gonna be free

But the road I must travel

Its end... I cannot see

Nanana na na na

There's a sign along the highway

But it's too dark now to read
