I've been hit some hard traveling, I thought you knew
I've been hit some hard traveling way down the road
I've been hit some hard traveling, hard rambling, hard gambling
I've been through some hard traveling, Lord
Tell me about it, Jack
I've been riding them fast rattlers, I thought you knew
I've been riding them blind passengers way down the road
I've been riding them dead-enders, flat-wheelers, kicking up cinders
I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
Jerry!
I've been doing some hard traveling, I thought you knew
I've been doing some hard traveling way down the road
I've been doing some hard traveling, hard rambling, hard gambling
I've been doing some hard traveling too bad
I've been working at Pittsburgh Steel
I thought you know'd
I've been ducking red hot slag way down the road
I've been blasting, I've been firing
I've been ducking that red hot on
And I've been doing some hard traveling
I've been doing some hard traveling
I thought you know'd
I've been doing some hard traveling
Way on down that road
I've been doing some hard traveling
Stripping my feet
Sticking into gravel
And I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
I've been walking that Lincoln Highway
I thought you know'd
I've been hitching on 66
Way down the road
With heavy loads
And a worried mind
Looking for a woman that's hard to find
I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
With heavy loads
And a worried mind
Looking for a woman that's hard to find
I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
I've been doing some hard traveling, Lord
