Hard Travelin' - Cisco Houston

I've been doin' some hard travelin'
  I thought you knowed
I've been doin' some hard ramblin'
  way down the road
Hard travelin' hard ramblin'
 hard drinkin' hard gamblin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been doin' some hard rock minin'
  I thought you knowed
I've been leanin' on a pressure drill
  way down the road
Well the hammer flying 
  and the air hose suckin'
And six feet of mud,
  I sure been muckin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been workin' that Pittsburgh steel
  I thought you knowed
I've been pourin' that red-hot slag
  way down the road
I been blastin'
  I've been firin'
I've been pourin'
  red-hot iron
I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been layin' in a hard rock jail
  I thought you knowed
I've been layin' out ninety days
  way down the road
The darned old judge he said to me
 it's ninety days for vagrancy 
And I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been walkin' that Lincoln highway
  I thought you knowed
And I've been hittin' that sixty six
  way down the road
Got a heavy load 
  got a worried mind 
I'm a' lookin' for a woman
  that's hard to find
And I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been doin' some hard travelin'
I've been havin' some hard ramblin'
I've been doin' some hard traveling
I've been doin' some hard travelin' Lord

I've been ridin' them fast passengers
  I thought you knowed
I've been hittin' them flat wheelers
   way down the road
I've been ridin
