time ta' hit the road

threw some old clothes
in an old bag
who knows
but it sags

it be such a load

time ta' hit the road

let me see what am i carryin' with me
what can i do without

got my shorts
and shirts
that don't need ironin'
washin' ain't what i'm about

got my underwear
so i don't care
long as i'm there
where i be
long as i can take a pee
i don't give a shit
about it

got my heart
tho it hurts
it's still shinin'

got some long pants
for those long nights
when it's cold
and i ain't got no one ta' hold

got a coat
ta' keep me warm
a flashlight
to keep me from harm
and give me light
at night

saddled up
and gitty up

time ta' hit the road

time to unload

got my new guitar
if i'm goin' that far
got an amplifier
for when i'm a flyer

now
i'm just
a goodbyer
not a cryer

it's anywhere are bust
go i must

time ta' hit the road

got my pc
with me
a laptop
a tiptop

so i can still write
day or night
say what i say
as i go my way
i can play

with words
or strings
whatever
life brings
ain't no forever
ain't no never

time ta' hit the road

leavin' behind
an ex or two
find
that'll just have ta' do

kids & grankids
hell they all hids
from there dad
granddad
makes me sad
too bad
had
what i had
did what i dids

time ta' hit the road

don't know where i'm goin'
don't know where i am
but it's slowin' & it's showin'
damn
i like the me
who is free

got some old shoes
guess they will do's
got some cowboy boots
show my roots
got some flowery dishes
so if i wishes
i can eat
got an old towel or two
so i can cry about you

time ta' hit the road

got a thing or two
i don't need
but no need
not expectin'
the unexpected
i reackin'

where do i go?
anywhere
but where
i been

so i filled up my tank
as a thank
now thinkin'
for me
is a mystery

if i goes south
theres mexico
that's not wheres
i want ta' goes

so north
or east
or west
what would be best?

damn, didn't pass that test

so old dog
old pony
show me
the way
anyway

time ta' hit the road
