I'm a leavin' that's true, got some livin' to do
And this old thumb of mine is gonna travel me far
I'm as free as the wind, it's all about to begin
As I carry my own guitar
You can follow the times, you can just climb and climb
Your life gets fast, girl, like your big shiny car
I've tied to old lady luck, I bought this old semi-truck
That's gonna carry me and my old guitar
And as we roll out of town, I'm feelin' free
Ah, that country breeze is caressin' me
So long to you, back in your home of the blues
I'm now a travelin' man on gravel or tar
I got a big land to see, and many others maybe
As I carry my own guitar
Whistling
And as we roll out of town, I'm feelin' free
There's just the driver, my guitar and me
I'm a shoutin' tonight, what I'm doin' is right
And those city lights are now distant stars
Hey, there's the freeway sign, that's a promisin' good time
As I carry my own guitar
Whistling
