Getting 'long the road just as best as I can
Singing my life and the life that I've known
Singing and walking on my own.
I once had a job but I didn't like it
doin' the same thing every day
had to move on just to save my life. It
was just movin' on not runnin' away.
I once had a house in western wherever
Just can't remember the name of the town
Everything sweet 'till I couldn't make the payments
Each life has an arc and mine's pointing down.
I'm a long time,slow time, travellin' man
Getting 'long the road just as best as I can
Singing my life and the life that I've known
Singing and walking on my own.
I once had a wife, to be with forever
Sweet as a cane stalk and fresh as the dew
She left me behind because she was too clever
to live the life that I brought her to.
I once had a daughter to hug me and love me
My daughter has gone now, much to my shame.
My wife took her with her when she up and left me
and now I can't even remember her name.
I'm a long time,slow time, travellin' man
Getting 'long the road just as best as I can
Singing my life and the life that I've known
Singing and walking on my own.
