[Verse 1]
I've damn near walked this world around
Another city, another town
Another friend to say goodbye
Another girl to sit and cry

[Refrain]
And it's many a mile I’ve spent on this road
It's many a mile I have gone

[Verse 2]
Well, there was one who knew me best
You know she gave my poor heart rest
She was my world, my heart, my dear
Now she's gone to God knows where

[Refrain]
And it's many a mile I’ve spent on this road
It's many a mile I have gone

[Verse 3]
I've seen your towns they're all the same
The only difference is in a name
The only home I ever knowed
Was a suitcase and the open road

[Refrain]
And it's many a mile I’ve spent on this road
It's many a mile I have gone

[Verse 4]
So I'll fill my glasses up to the brim
And through my glass my world looks dim
But I know outside there's a light somewhere
Maybe my rambling will get me there

[Refrain]
And it's many a mile I've spent on this road
It's many a mile I've gone

[Outro]
It's many a mile I’ve spent on this road
And it's many a mile I will go
