Used to see him hanging round everywhere
In a world of his own
See him hanging round street corners where
Away would meet
He was a lonely kid
Now they tell us, now he's moved on
Ain't been seen for so long
Don't know where he's gone
It's been so long but I'm on the road
And though it ain't been easy
At least I made it on my own
Oh,
my tongue's been tied for too far long Now you're gonna hear me
At least I know where I belong
So hello,
I'm on the road
I'm on the road Hello, hello
I'm on my own I guess
everybody's got someone
To lay their troubled lives upon I'm really glad I've only got my own
Once upon a time,
well,
I had lots of friends I moved freely through their lives
But two's a couple and,
well,
three's a crowd I was just left out hanging around
I've had as much now as I can take
There ain't no need to stay
So hello,
I'm on the road Hello, hello I'm on my own
I guess everybody
smiles
As I go walking by
But I'm really glad I've only got my own
