When I was a young boy
too shy to have a blow
I'd put my face through the dormer
and I'd let my eyes flow
down the road

Every kind of action
every move I did see
I'd tell it to my friends
just like it happened to me
down the road
down the road
down the road
down the road

None of the magic
I then felt has gone
but I took a seven-mile-step
and now I'm walking along
down the road

I walk on the left side
I walk on the right
I walk in the heat of the day
in the chill of the night
down the road
down the road
down the road
down the road

And I lost count of the people I met
some of them livin' and some of them dead
and some try to tell me I ain't goin' nowhere
but if God sends His angels I wanna be there down the road

I like the new breeze
strokin' my hair
and I like the old winds
pushin' me to somewhere
down the road
down the road
down the road
down the road
