lyrics

I'm on the road to flee the words of my father
Oh I am on the road
And I'm on the road to flee the care of my mother
Oh I am on the road

'Cause my father is a wise man and my mother is a carer
But I'll be on the road
They say that money is the problem darling son
And you shouldn't be on the road

They say that money is the root of all things unclean
But I can be dirty without it anyway
They say that love is not a fickle thing
But it comes and goes all the time anyway

There's a girl that I love so very much
She wants to tell me what's right for me
Is it love or is it foolish pride that stops me from taking her advice?
There's only one place that I should be

With my drinking friends and untied ends
And the debts I owe to the government
I'll tie them up and strike a match and torch the whole lot
Put on my shoes, tie up the lace
I'll try not leave a single trace
I'll smoke a cigarette and be on the road

Oh, I'll be on the road
