[Verse 1]
Well I climbed the seven summits
And I swam the seven seas
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see

Well 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

[Verse 2]
I walked the empty desert
And I was burned in the heat
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I crossed the frozen wasteland
And in the bitter cold did freeze
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see

And I will knock on every door
For 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

[Verse 3]
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 misfortunes
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 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

[Verse 4]
So when thirsty I will drink
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
And 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

[Outro]
There's a sign along the highway
But it's too dark now to read
