Life on the Road

I want life on the road
This time I'm gonna get there
And it's slowly usin' me
When a muscle man came my way
I'm a real hungry tyke
Life on the road
And there's no security

And find myself a life I could call my own

I said life on the road
I left for a life on the road

Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild
Who were tired of bein' bought and sold
'Cause those stuck-up city ladies
To see Piccadilly

Good-bye to a world
But I'd really love to please
I was little more than a child
And walk down the Abbey Road
I said life on the road

So I'll live out my life on the road
And I know where I'm goin'
Through the bright city lights
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Livin' my life on the road
But all that I caught was a cold
And so I searched night and day to catch a kissable lady
And I said good-bye to my friends and my folks back home
'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night
Life on the road
And I left for a life of my own
And packed up my clothes
And see all the places that I used to know
Pimlico and Savile Row

I said life on the road
I said life on the road
The city ladies were bawdy and bold
That's forgotten how to feel
I wanna go home
Now I've got blood shot eyes
And say good-bye

When I arrived in Euston
I want life on the road
City women are a tease
Ramble and roam around Soho
Now I've got holes in my shoes

And I'm livin' the life that I chose
And like a fool, I went and said, "Okay"
To a world that's too real
Sometimes I hate the road
Didn't notice me walk by

And I'm livin' my life on the road
And I know what I like

Visit my friends
Mama always told me
I'm bound for a life on the road

I thought the city was paved with gold
Give me life on the road

It was always my ambition
But I've seen so many losers and down and out boozers
To those bright city lights
I was standing with the punks in Praed Street
'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night

But it's the only life I know

And it sure knocks you out on the road
And I didn't know then that the dives and the dens
I said life on the road

Ever since I was knee high

He said, "Hey, are you gay? Can you come out and play?"
One of these days
Give me life on the road
But I'm livin' the life that I chose

So I saved all my money
