I'm a leavin' that's true, got some livin' to doAnd this old thumb of mine is gonna travel me farI'm as free as the wind, it's all about to beginAs I carry my own guitarYou can follow the times, you can just climb and climbYour life gets fast, girl, like your big shiny carI've tied to old lady luck, I bought this old semi-truckThat's gonna carry me and my old guitarAnd as we roll out of town, I'm feelin' freeAh, that country breeze is caressin' meSo long to you, back in your home of the bluesI'm now a travelin' man on gravel or tarI got a big land to see, and many others maybeAs I carry my own guitarWhistlingAnd as we roll out of town, I'm feelin' freeThere's just the driver, my guitar and meI'm a shoutin' tonight, what I'm doin' is rightAnd those city lights are now distant starsHey, there's the freeway sign, that's a promisin' good timeAs I carry my own guitarWhistling
