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

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track Means your true loving daddy ain't coming back 'Cause I'm moving on I'll soon be gone You were flying too high for my little old sky, so I'm moving on That big loud whistle as it blew and blew Said hello to the Southland, we're coming to you And we're moving on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm moving on Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me 'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep moving me on, keep rolling on So shovel the coal, let this rattle a-roll and keep moving me on Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep moving me on, keep rolling on You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rolling on I told you, baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on You've broken your vow and it's all over now, so I'm moving on You switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a trifling woman on my main line 'Cause I'm moving, you done your daddy wrong I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm moving on But some day, baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say "Keep moving on, you stayed away too long" I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep moving on

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep You'll cry and cry and try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will pine some day, And crave the love, you threw away. The time will come when you'll be blue, Your cheatin' heart will tell on you. When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

Life has a funny way Of keeping me on my toes Oh how my shoulders ache Under the weight of my woes My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings Lovers and friends the same Everyone's fair game Everyone can hurt your heart When it all falls apart My tears fall On my old guitar Time and time again My surest friend My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings No matter where I go The music guides my soul Through all the ups and downs It can help turn me around My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings

If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right 'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If mind you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Well, I got a little girl that wears her hair up high The boys all whistle when she walks by Why don't they mind their own business Mind their own business 'Cause if they mind their business, then they won't be mindin' mine Now if I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me Just mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, and you won't be mindin' mine Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned I got all that I can do just to mind my own Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If you mind your business, you'll be busy all the time
