Life on the Road - song lyrics

Ever since I was a child I loved to wander wild
Through the bright city lights
And find myself a life I could call my own
It was always my ambition to see Piccadilly
Ramble and roam around Soho, and Pimlico and Savile Row
And walk down the Abbey Road

So I saved all my money
And packed up my clothes
And I said goodbye to my friends and my folks back home
And I left for a life of my own
I left for a life on the road

I'm a real hungry tyke
And I know what I like
And I know where I'm goin'
To those bright city lights

Oh, yeah, oh yeah
This time I'm gonna get there
I'm bound for a life on the road

Give me life on the road
I said life on the road

When I arrived in Euston
I was little more than a child
And I didn't know then that the dives and the dens
Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild

Mama always told me
The city ladies were bawdy and bold
And so I searched night and day to catch a kissable lady
But all that I caught was a cold

'Cause those stuck-up city ladies
Didn't notice me walk by
Now I've got holes in my shoes
'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night

Well, I'm livin' the life that I chose
Livin' my life on the road

I said life on the road
I want life on the road
Life on the road

I was standing with the punks in Praed Street
When a muscle man came my way
He said, "Hey, are you gay, can you come out and play?"
And like a fool, I went and said, "Okay"

Ever since I was knee high
I thought the city was paved with gold
But I've seen so many losers and down and out-boozers
Who were tired of bein' bought and sold

City women are a tease
But I'd really love to please
Now I've got blood shot eyes
'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night

And it sure knocks you out on the road
And I'm livin' my life on the road

I said life on the road
Life on the road
I want life on the road

One of these days, I wanna go home
Visit my friends and see all the places that I used to know
And say goodbye to a world that's too real
Goodbye to a world that's forgotten how to feel

And it's slowly usin' me
And there's no security
Sometimes I hate the road but it's the only life I know

But I'm livin' the life that I chose
So I'll live out my life on the road

Give me life on the road
I said life on the road
I said life on the road
Give me life on the road

숨이 차올라서 주저앉고 말았어 결국 길을 잃어버린 걸까 깊게 새겨진 발자국 위에 나 홀로 무심히 널 부르다 웃음 짓고 있어 내가 이제야 알아 행복해지려면 니가 있어야 한다는 걸 들리니 내 목소리가 너를 향한 길 위에서 소리쳐 보는 메아리가 너에게 닿을 수 있을까 바람이 차가워도 어디에 있다 해도 눈을 감고 너를 떠올리면 내게만 봄이 온 것만 같아 들리니 내 목소리가 너를 향한 길 위에서 소리쳐 보는 메아리가 너에게 닿을 수 있을까 난 너 없는 이 길 위에서 내 마음을 다 준 사람이 너였다고 전부 너라고 널 다시 만나면 그때 말해 줄게 이 길에 끝에서 난 가슴 아파한 지난날들 날 꿈을 꾸며 살게 해준 너를 향해 가는 길 위에서 너에게 가는 이 길 너를 향한 길 위에서 소리쳐 보는 메아리가 너에게 닿을 수 있기를 너에게 가는 이 길

Walking past the places I don't wanna see And faceless strangers I don't wanna meet As I go, the night becomes surreal Carrying on for all eternity True change is nowhere to be found Carrying on, carrying on As I try to fight it I run away, but stay the same Light the fire, ignite it Distant voices screaming in the dark Approaching me as I embark Suddenly, faces facing me I can't believe, it's reality I guess it doesn't matter now Carrying on, carrying on As I try to fight it I run away, but stay the same Light the fire, ignite it And when it all comes back At least I know, I'm not alone And in my darkest days You are the light to guide me home

You look like a real human being But you don't have a mind of your own Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe You can work, you can stitch, you can sew But you're brainwashed Yes you are, yes you are Get down on your knees You've got a job and a house And a wife, and your kids and a car Yeah, you're conditioned to be What they want you to be And be happy to be where you are Yes you are Get down on your knees Get down on your knees The aristocrats and bureaucrats Are dirty rats For making you what you are They're up there and you re down here You're on the ground and they're up with the stars All your life they've kicked you around and pushed you around Till you can't take any more To them you're just a speck of dirt But you don't want to get up off the floor Mister you're just brainwashed They give you social security Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity Yeah, you're conditioned to be What they want you to be And to do what they want you to Yes you are, yes you are Get down on your knees

Daylight over the Village Green early in the morning. Daylight over the hills and valleys heralding the morning. Daylight over the mountains, daylight on the Village Green, Daylight over the field and the factories. Another night has gone away and here comes yet another day. See the early morning risers walking round with bleary eyes. Worn out housewives grit their teeth ignoring new born babies' cries. Look at all the busy people this way, that way, everywhere Biting toast and swallowing tea and breakfast specials on the air. Feel that daylight. Feel the sunlight on my pillow and it stops my yawing. I thank God that I'm still around to see another dawn in. Daylight over the valleys, daylight lighting up the trees, Daylight over the hillside, Smile a smile and sing a song, another night has been and gone. Middle-aged bankers crack their backs and wish they were young and in their teens, Lonely spinsters dream of dating Roger Moore or Steve McQueen. Health fanatics in their attics training for the Empire Games, School boys dream of Captain Scarlet, battle ships and aeroplanes. Feel that daylight, Daylight. Daylight on the Village Green, Daylight, Field and the valleys, Daylight.

You've been sleeping in a field But you look real rested You set out to outrage But you can't get arrested You say your image is new But it looks well tested You're lost without a crowd Yet you go your own way You say your summer has gone Now the winter is crawling in They say that even in your day Somehow you never could quite fit in Though it's cold outside I know the summer's gonna come again Because you know what they say Every dog has his day You're a misfit Afraid of yourself, so you run away and hide You've been a misfit all your life Why don't you join the crowd and come inside You wander 'round this town Like you've lost your way You had your chance in your day Yet you threw it all away But you know what they say Every dog has his day Look at all the losers and the mad-eyed gazers Look at all the loonies and the sad-eyed failures They've giving up living 'cause they just don't care So take a good look around, the misfits are everywhere This is your chance This is your time So don't throw it away You can have your day 'Cause it's true what they say Every dog has his day You're a misfit Afraid of yourself so you run away and hide You've been a misfit all your life But why don't you join the crowd and come inside You wander 'round this town Like you've lost your way You had your chance in your day Yet you threw it all away Now you're lost in the crowd Yet still go your own way

Baby, you don't know what you're saying Because you're a victim of bright city lights And your mind is not right You think the world's at your feet 'Cause you're starstruck, baby, starstruck Taken in by the lights Think you'll never look back You know you're starstruck on me Baby, you're running around like you're crazy You go to a party and dance through the night And you'll drink 'till you're tight And then you're out on your feet 'Cause you're starstruck, baby, starstruck Taken in by the lights Think you'll never look back You know you're starstruck on me Baby, watch out or else you'll be ruined 'Cause once you're addicted to wine and champagne It's gonna drive you insane Because the world's not so tame And you're starstruck, baby, starstruck You're taken in by the lights Think you'll never look back You know you're starstruck on me Don't you know that you are Starstruck on me And you always will be Starstruck on me Starstruck on me

Here's a story about a sinner He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition It turned him to the booze And he got mixed up with a floosie And she led him to a life of indecision The floosie made him spend his dole She left him lying on Skid Row A drunken lag in some Salvation Army Mission It's such a shame Oh demon alcohol Sad memories I cannot recall Who thought I would say Damn it all and blow it all Oh demon alcohol Memories I cannot recall Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol Sad memories I cannot recall Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol Barley wine, pink gin He'll drink anything Port, pernod or tequila Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks As long as all his troubles disappeared But he messed up his life, went and beat up his wife And the floosie's gone and found another sucker She's gonna turn him on to drink She's gonna lead him to the brink And when his money's gone She'll leave him in the gutter It's such a shame Oh demon alcohol Sad memories I cannot recall Who thought I would say Damn it all and blow it all Sad memories I cannot recall Who thought I would fall A slave to demon alcohol
