The Road I Must Travel Lyrics - Singles - The Nightwatchman

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

But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

Well, I crossed the frozen wasteland in the bitter cold did freeze 

And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

I found his empty journal, I filled up every page 

I 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'd questioned all my friends 

They hoped that they could find my ass before I struck again 

So I sang to myself that I want to be free 

But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

But the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

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

And the road I must travel, it's end I cannot see 

And I will sing to myself that I'm gonna be free 

But the road I must travel, yeah, it's end I cannot see 

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