Lyrics

Got my old black army surplus boots on
Trudging on down the road
Got my wide brimmed hat - pulled down tight
Trudging on down the road
Legs are aching and my ears are burning
With the sun beating down on the road
See where it takes me, see where I go
See where it takes me, see where I go

Life has taken all my lovin? and
It?s taken all of my dough
Left me with a long black coat
And a beard I left to grow
Eyes that sparkle in the moonlight
Picking out the way below
See where it takes me, see where I go
See where it takes me, see where I go

When the wind blows it tries to turn me back
Never seems to help me on my way
When the rain falls hard it tries to change my mood
But I keep smiling ?til the end of the day

Got my pack well strapped onto my back
But I sleep where-ever I choose
A stick in my hand to shake at the devil
When he dances in the shadows
The owls may hoot and the foxes bark
On the darkest path below
See where it takes me, see where I go
See where it takes me, see where I go

Old friends may ponder where I wander
But my way is never that clear
The months and years have chased me away
From the people that I held dear
The road back home is deep in the woods
And the going is gonna be slow
See where it takes me, see where I go
See where it takes me, see where I go

When the wind blows it tries to turn me back
Never seems to help me on my way
When the rain falls hard it tries to change my mood
But I keep smiling ?til the end of the day
