My boots are worn from these dusty streets
Empty pockets and worn-out dreams
Whiskey bottle's my only friend
This lonely road never seems to end

But I'll sing this song with my ragged voice
Through the pain and noise, I still rejoice
With my guitar crying, harmonica wailing
This freedom's worth all the failing and sailing

The bar lights dim, last call is near
Another town disappearing in my rearview mirror
Memories fade like the evening sun
But I'll keep moving till my race is run

And I'll sing this song with my ragged voice
Through the pain and noise, I still rejoice
With my guitar crying, harmonica wailing
This freedom's worth all the failing and sailing

Sometimes a man's gotta lose his way
To find the strength to face another day
These scars I carry tell my story
Of chasing grace and former Glory

The highway calls like an old, old friend
This journey never seems to end
From Nashville bars to Texas plains
I'll sing my songs through the sun and rains

And I'll sing this song with my ragged voice
Through the pain and noise, I still rejoice
With my guitar crying, harmonica wailing
This freedom's worth all the failing and sailing

Yeah, this freedom's worth the pain
Worth the pouring rain
Just me and this open road fading away
Into the sunset
