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
