 I'm out here a thousand miles from my home
 Walkin' a road other men have gone down
 I'm seein' your world of people and things
 Your paupers and peasants and princess and kings
 Hey hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song
 'Bout a funny old world that's comin' along
 Seems sicked it's hungry, it's tired and it's torn
 It looks like it's a-dyin' and it's hardly been born
 Hey hey Woody Guthrie but I know that you know
 All the things that I'm sayin' and a many times more
 I'm singin' you this song, but I can't sing enough
 'Cause there's not many men that done the things that you done
 Here's to Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly too
 And to all the good people that traveled with you
 Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men
 That come with the dust and are gone with the wind
 I'm leavin' tomorrow but I could leave today
 Somewhere down the road someday
 The very last thing that I'd want to do
 Is to say I've been hittin' some hard travelin' too

Hey hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny old world that's comin' along
Seems sicked it's hungry, it's tired and it's torn
It looks like it's a-dyin' and it's hardly been born

Hey hey Woody Guthrie but I know that you know
All the things that I'm sayin' and a many times more
I'm singin' you this song, but I can't sing enough
'Cause there's not many men that done the things that you done

Here's to Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly too
And to all the good people that traveled with you
Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind

I'm leavin' tomorrow but I could leave today
Somewhere down the road someday
The very last thing that I'd want to do
Is to say I've been hittin' some hard travelin' too
