Well I left my happy home, to see what I could find out...

G D G D G
I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out...

Well I hit the rowdy road! And many kinds I met there, many stories told
me
Am(7) D(7) G D G D G
of the way to get there....... oooh...
C F(9) C F(9) C F(9) C F(9)
C F(9)
And so on and on I go, the seconds thick the timeout...
C F(9) C Am(7) D(7) G D G D G
there's so much left to know and I'm on the road to findout......
oooh...

Well in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder...
Through descending snow-- and through the frost and thunder...

Well I listen to the wind come howl! Telling me I have to hurry!
I listen to the robin's song-- saying not to worry...... oooh...
And so on and on I go--, the seconds thick the timeout...
there's so much left to know and I'm on the road to findout......
oooh...

(Play same as introduction)

Then I found myself alone, hoping someone would miss me...
Thinking about my home-- and the last woman to kiss me...

But sometimes you have to moan! When nothing seems to suit yer...
But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future...... oooh
And so on and on you go! The seconds thick the timeout--
there's so much left to know and I'm on the road to
findout---.....oooh..

Then I found my head one day, when I wasn't even trying...
And here I have to say, cause there is no use in lying...

Oh yes the answer lies within! So why not take a look now!
Kick out the devil's sin, pickup pickup a good book
now....oooh...(repeat 3x)

(play same as introduction)

Enjoy!
