Hard Travelling

(album: National Treasure - 2002)

I been doing some hard traveling
I thought you knowed
I been doing some hard rambling
Way down the road
I been doing some hard rambling
Hard drinking, hard gambling
I been doing some hard traveling, Lord

I been doing some hard rock mining
I thought you knowed
I been a-leaning on a pressure drill
Way down the road
Hammer flying, air hose sucking
Six feet of mud, I sure been a-mucking
I been doin'some traveling, Lord

I been a-laying in a hard rock jail
I thought you knowed
I been a-laying out 90 days
Way down the road
Well a mean old judge he said to me
It's 90 days for vagrancy
And I been doin'some traveling, Lord

I been riding them fast passengers
I thought you knowed
I bin hitting them flat wheelers
Way down the road
I bin riding them blind passengers
Dead enders, picking up cinders
And I been doin'some traveling, Lord

I been doing some hard harvesting
I thought you knowed
North Dakota to Kansas Ciity
Way down the road
Cutting that wheat and stacking that hay
Trying to make about a dollar a day
I been doing some hard harvesting, Lord

I been a-walking that Lincoln Highway
I thought you knowed
I been a-hitting that sixty-six
Way down the road
Got a heavy load and a worried mind
Looking for a woman that's hard to find
I been a-having some hard traveling, Lord
