down the road i go lyrics

Yeah, let me tell you baby, if you want to pin me down
Better get your hammer girl and nail me to the ground
'Cause you won't find no grass stains on the bottom of my feet
The only home I've ever known is out there on the streets

You call me insane
Oh honey, that's my middle name
I don't care which way the wind will blow
'Cause I don't know
So down the road I go

You see I tried to settle down not too long ago
You can lock my body up but you can't calm my soul
I don't want to hurt you or put you on a shelf
But my daddy told me all my life you've got to be yourself

You call me insane
Honey, that's my middle name
I don't care which way the wind'll blow
'Cause I don't know
So down the road I go

Oh get on

I'm sure there's lots of guys out there who've learned to toe the line
Compared to them my life may look a wreck
Girl, you've been to college so you should know by now
And if you can't understand me, what the hell did you expect?

I'm giving you fair warning, I'm gonna say goodbye
And when I'm walkin' out the door don't want to hear you cry
There's so much highway out there that I ain't never seen
All I need is cigarettes, guitars and gasoline

You call me insane
Honey, that's my middle name
I don't care which way the wind'll blow
'Cause I don't know
So honey down the road I go
Down the road I go
I'll see you around
'Cause I'm leavin' town
Yeah, yeah, yeah
