I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road

I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord

I been workin' in a hard rock tunnel
I thought you know
I been leanin' on a pressure drill
Way down the road

Hammer flyin', air hose suckin'
Six feet of mud, I sure been muckin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord

I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road

I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord

I been workin' the Pittsburg steel
I thought you know
I been workin' that red-hot slag
Way down the road

I been a-blastin', I been a-firin'
I been a-duckin' that red-hot fire
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord

I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road

I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord

Well, I've been hittin' that Lincoln highway
I thought you know
I been hittin' that sixty-six
Way down the road

Well, a heavy load and a worried mind
I a-lookin' for a woman that is hard to find
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord

I been doin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Way down the road

I been doin' some hard travelin'
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I been doin' some hard travelin'
Lord
