[Verse 1]
Headin' north for the winter
Ignored all my friends
And I can't promise you the place I am
Will be the same place I began
And I ain't got no money
To me that means I'm free
To go where I wanna, to say what I mean
To do whatever I please
And I'll give thanks to the cities
Who fed us and kept us clean
To hell with all the rest of you
Destroyin' the American dream
I'll walk across this country
Through winds and pourin' rain
Over bridges and highways
On busses and trains I'll surf amber waves of grains
If home is whеre the heart is
Thеn mine's beating on the road
In faraway spots and dark junkyard lots
With the transient [?]
And we'll stroll through the cities
Through villages and one horse towns
Gotta beware the devil roams
And tries to, tries, tries to pull me down
