I've been hittin' some hard travelin'
I thought you know
I've been hittin' some hard travelin'
way down the road
I've been hittin' some hard travelin'
hard ramblin'
hard gamblin
I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord

I've been working that Pittsburgh steel
I thought you know
By that I mean I go to thrift stores
and steal all my clothes
if you wanna be dirty, gotta look just right
patches, rags, make it look like
you've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord

I've been riding that megabus
I thought you know
I scammed me a free ticket
right on down the road
I don't ride those rails, that's no joke
but I still got train track stick n' pokes
I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord

I've been busking up a living wage
I thought you know
I'm playin' music and gettin' paid
right here on the road
in one hour we make more
than employees working at these stores
this sure is some hard travelin' lord

I've been drinkin' way too much
I thought you know
I took too many swigs, now I'm stumblin' way down the road
I broke my banjo, lost my mandolin
don't know when I'll see them again
I've been drinking that mike's hard lemonade

I've been fightin' that system
thought that you knew lord
I'm rantin' and raving on that message board
We've got to take back the power
it feels nice in this Ivory Tower
I've been clicking towards the revolution lord

I've been couch surfing
I've been stayin with my friends
but they aint sick of me yet, they're true to the end
so I drink their beer and eat their food
but I don't use their shower, that'd be rude
I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord

I've been goin' hungry
I thought you know
cuz all these dumpsters are empty
all along this road
I spent my spanging money on marijuana
so it's back home for mom's lasagna
I've been hitting some hard travelin' lord

I've been hittin some hard travelin
I thought you know
I've been hittin' some hard travelin
way down the road
This travelin' life really gets you down
when you ain't even left your home town
I can't wait to start travelin' lord
