The Journey Lyrics - Molly Hatchet

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
