The road was singin’
I was hummin’ along
Up an’ down, lost then found
A lot of verses in that song
Had a muse I had to follow
It kept runnin’, I kept chasin’
Where it ends, I don’t really know

I might beg an’ I might borrow
But I’ll keep a straight an’ narrow
An’ I’ll be back
Some far away tomorrow

Prosperity might come an’ go
In the spotlight or maybe layin’ low
I’ve taken chances, rolled the dice but
Rarely done the same thing twice
I’ve seen troubles, I’ve seen pain
Then sunshine after all that rain
And I suppose
I’d do it all again

I might beg an’ I might borrow
But I’ll keep a straight an’ narrow
An’ I’ll be back
Some far away tomorrow

I never lost my love for you, my dear
Back an’ forth always shiftin’ gears
Never thought ‘bout where I was
Until it’s time for leavin’
Seems nothin’ else
ever seemed so clear

I might beg an’ I might borrow
But I’ll keep a straight an’ narrow
An’ I’ll be back
Some far away tomorrow
