Marching Tune

When I left home my mama said "this boy ain't no good" She kissed my cheek, waved goodbye, guess she never had a clue The chapter closed I headed south, the flowers were in bloom All the beauty in the world could not match my marching tune I met the people of the road, we got along just fine The visions I had as a child slowly came to life I saw cheaters cheat their hearts, I saw stranded men And I saw the world unfolding in the palm of my right hand Living on the road, I do as I please I'm writing my own book full of sudden twists Heartbreak, sleepless nights, got no time for that The things I've done, the things I've seen Are the only things that count Alright, alright It's been a year driving around, I don't miss the quiet life I have my lunch before the dawn nd sleep beneath the stars Family is not for me, I'm not waiting for the call I got my car and a bunch of maps and I go where I wanna go Living on the road, I do as I please I'm writing my own book full of sudden twists Heartbreak, sleepless nights, got no time for that The things I do, the things I see are making babies in my mind Alright, alright So many lives, I don't want to choose just one Where the hills kiss the sky I'll be fine Oh I'll be fine Living on the road, I do as I please I'm writing my own book full of sudden twists Heartbreak, sleepless nights, got no time for that The things I do, the things I see are making babies in my mind Alright, alright
