The Journey Lyrics

I was born one rainy morning
In a little house across town
Daddy liked to roam leave Mama alone
She just couldn't tie him downHe liked his gamblin' and whiskey
And mama just liked to cook and sew
It made me a man before my time
I felt many a cold wind blowWorked real hard most all of my life
Bought a farmhouse out in the sticks
Set by the fire most every night
Working on my guitar licksBefore too long I was on my way
Playing from town to town
I guess, I'm a little like daddy was
Gotta keep on moving aroundThis journey takes me far away from home
Sometimes it makes me feel so alone
So aloneNow, I look back on yesterday
Wondering what I'd done
Did I help somebody along the way?
Or did I just look out for number one?I know, I can't change a thing

So don't put me down
'Cause I didn't cling to your heart
Oh, I feel like dying when we're apartThis journey takes me far away from home
With nothing left to hold on to
But a voice from the telephoneIt's taken me away from every love I've ever known
Sometimes, it makes me feel so alone
So alone
