[Verse 1]
Wearin' my high boots, got all my wordlies here in a sack
Lookin' for somethin', knowin' that it ain't here where I'm at
I'm comin' back, I'm comin'
Ride by thumbin'
Get by the bummin'
I'm on my way

[Chorus]
Friend, have you seen Glory Road?
Say, friend, I've got a heavy load
And I know Glory Road's waiting for me

[Verse 2]
Caught me a pick-up down from Seattle to L.A
Seems like those folks go chasin' a new star every day
Ain't gonna stay in Nevada
Through Wyoming
Colorado, I'm on my way

[Chorus]
Friend, have you seen Glory Road?
Say, friend, I've got a heavy load
And I know Glory Road's waiting for me

[Bridge]
(Da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da)
It's so many autumns
(Da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da)
Which way to go?
Louisiana, New York City
They won't give the answer
They ask of me
