It's the gettin' up and knowin' that you're on the road again that keeps you goin'

C                              F            C
People always say you must get tired of the road
                                        D              G
Well, I fire back and say “Hell there's freedom on the road”
            C                            F               C
When you're out there really rolling its just the way of life
         D                                 G                 C
it’s the settin' out or settin' down where you can have your strife

Verse
    C                             F              C
You hope the run gets better, its hope you lean upon
                                        D                      G
You hope the crowds are friendlier than where you’ve just come from
    C                                 F                     C
Someone walks up and says “hey you’re looking younger every day”
        D                           G                C
And you try to snatch his autograph before he slips away, hey.

Cause, it's the gettin' up and knowin' that you're on the road again that keeps you goin'

Verse
  C                        F                C
I hit the road in '54 with nineteen quid to spend
                                 D             G
We never made much money, but we needed little then
    C                                F               C
And now we span this big old land in speeding cars or plane
    D                                   G                 C
Sometimes I just sit back and dream how times have really changed.

Verse
     C                                    F             C
Your roots are planted no-where so you've got no yen to stay
                                     D             G
Ah, it ‘Twas see you old mate, but I must be on my way
           C                          F                    C
And if you ever feel that gypsy blood seeping through your veins
    D                                          G                   C
and you’ve lived the life I’m talking of, well I doubt if you will change. hey.

Cause, it's the gettin' up and knowin' that you're on the road again that keeps you goin'
       G                                                        C   G   C
Like a bird out in the sky movin' free until I die, I'll not be slowin' down.
