Well I climbed seven summits and I swam the seven seas,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

Well I fought in the jungles and I fought in the streets,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

Now once I had a reason, don’t know what it could be

And the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

Well I sang to myself that I want to be free,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see. (Na, Na, Na

)

I walked the empty desert and was burned in the heat,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

I crossed the frozen wasteland and the bitter cold did freeze,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see

Now I will knock on every door for I do not have a key,

And the road I must travel its end I cannot see

Well I sang to myself that I want to be free,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see

(Na, Na, Na………) Sing…

They shot a man in Soho, couldn’t guess his age,

I found his empty journal, I filled up every page.

Called up my state senator, they said he wasn’t there,

The secretary took my name and man she sounded scared,

So I counted my misfortunes I added up the blame,

I picked through all the garbage, I checked off all the names,

I read in the newspaper, they questioned my old friends,

They hoped that they could find me (my ass) before I struck again.

So I sang to myself that I want to be free,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

So when thirsty I will drink and when hungry I will steal

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

So tonight I walk in anger with worn shoes on my feet,

And the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

And I will sing to myself that I’m going to be free,

But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.

(Na, Na, Na….)

There’s a sign along the highway but it’s too dark now to read
