Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out on the highways and the by-ways, all alone
I'm still searchin' for, searchin' for my home
Up in the mornin', up in the mornin', out on the road
And my head is achin' and my hands are cold
And I'm lookin' for the silver linin', silver linin' in the clouds
And I'm searchin' for, and I'm searchin' for the philosopher's stone
[Verse 2]
And it's a hard road, it's a hard road daddy-o
When my job is turning lead into gold
He was born in the back street, born in the back street, jelly roll
I'm on the road again and I'm searchin' for the philosopher's stone
[Verse 3]
Can you hear that engine?
Oh, can you hear that engine drone?
Well, I'm on the road again
And I'm searchin' for, searchin' for the philosopher's stone
[Verse 4]
Up in the mornin', up in the mornin'
When the streets are white with snow
It's a hard road, it's a hard road daddy-o
Up in the mornin', up in the mornin', out on the job
Well you've got my searchin' for, searchin' for the philosopher's stone
[Verse 5]
Even my best friends, even my best friends they don't know
That my job is turnin' lead into gold
When you hear that engine, when you hear that engine drone
I'm on the road again and I'm searchin' for the philosopher's stone
[Verse 6]
It's a hard road, even my best friends they don't know
And I'm searchin' for, and I'm searchin' for the philosopher's stone
