Lyrics: Molly Hatchet. The Journey.

I was born one rainy morning
In a little house across town
Daddy liked to roam leave Mama alone
She just couldn't tie him down

He liked his gamblin' and whiskey
And mama just liked to cook and sew
It made me a man before my time
I felt many a cold wind blow

Worked real hard most all of my life
Bought a farmhouse out in the sticks
Set by the fire most every night
Working on my guitar licks

Before too long I was on my way
Playing from town to town
I guess, I'm a little like daddy was
Gotta keep on moving around

This journey takes me far away from home
Sometimes it makes me feel so alone
So alone

Now, I look back on yesterday
Wondering what I'd done
Did I help somebody along the way?
Or did I just look out for number one?

I know, I can't change a thing
So don't put me down
'Cause I didn't cling to your heart
Oh, I feel like dying when we're apart

This journey takes me far away from home
With nothing left to hold on to
But a voice from the telephone

It's taken me away from every love I've ever known
Sometimes, it makes me feel so alone
So alone
