Hopped a train in Louisiana
Headed for TexArcana
A ways away
Three days in that boxcar
Trying to get herself far
Away from her home
These are the days to roam
These are the times to see
How you're made and what you've got
What to say and what you better not
Who's got the time anyway
Who to trust in a place that's new
Knowing just what to do
And when to abstain
Spending nights out in the rain
Hoping love will come again
A day on the road is like a month at a desk
You just keep moving, you'll have to rest
When you are old
The education of a thousand miles
You're growing dirty, you're growing wild
When the hills of California get near
Darlin' you've nothing to fear
And what you do, you must face
Headed from your home to another place
Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh...
At journey's end you trade in your shoes
Nothing to get, nothing to lose
Your feet in the sand, you raise your head with a smile
Your boats are tied but your mind is strong
Growing out, streaching far
A long time ago
You decided to stow
Away to another place
And when I close my eyes I can still see your face
And when I close my eyes I can still see your face
