I left home about a week ago
Left my wife and kids back east at home
Got bills to pay got mouths to feed
Gotta get up early and work my 7 to 3
Well things are hard and life aint free
Nothings ever been easy for me
But I gotta go
My life is on the road
I finished school about a week ago
Packed my bags and hit the open road
Grabbed my tools and I grabbed my hat
Hit the road now theres no holding back
Well things are hard and life aint free
Nothings ever been easy for me
But I gotta go
My life is on the road
I kissed my girl about a week ago
She packed her bags and now shes here at home
Feels so good to have her in my arms
Things are better and not quite as hard
Well things are hard and life aint free
Nothings ever been easy for me
But I gotta go
My life is on the road
Well things are hard and life aint free
Nothings ever been easy for me
But I gotta go
My life is on the road
