 Well I climbed  seven summits and I swam the seven seas,
 But the road I  must travel its end I cannot  see.
 Well I fought  in the jungles and I fought in the streets,
 But the road I  must travel its end I cannot see.
 Now once I had a reason, don’t know what it could be
 And the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
 Well I sang to myself that I want to be free,
 But the road I must travel its end I cannot see. (Na, Na, Na
 )
 I walked the empty desert and was burned in the heat,
 But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
 I crossed the frozen wasteland and the bitter cold did freeze,
 But the road I must travel its end I cannot see
 Now I will knock on every door for I do not have a key,
 And the road I must travel its end I cannot see
 Well I sang to myself that I want to be free,
 But the road I must travel its end I cannot see
 (Na, Na, Na………) Sing…
 They shot a man in Soho, couldn’t guess his age,
 I found his empty journal, I filled up every page.
 Called up my state senator, they said he wasn’t there,
 The secretary took my name and man she sounded scared,
 So I counted my misfortunes I added up the blame,
 I picked through all the garbage, I checked off all the names,
 I read in the newspaper, they questioned my old friends,
 They hoped that they could find me (my ass) before I struck again.
 So I sang to myself that I want to be free,
 But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
 So when thirsty I will drink and when hungry I will steal
 But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
 So tonight I walk in anger with worn shoes on my feet,
 And the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
 And I will sing to myself that I’m going to be free,
 But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
 (Na, Na, Na….)
 There’s a sign along the highway but it’s too dark now to read…
