OFF THE STREET AND ON THE ROAD BY STEVE TRIPP AND GWYNE ASHTON.
Off
The Street and On the Road
When I was a kid I was a problem
child.
Well I didn't fit in cause I was, born
wild.
They threw me out of school when I was
sixteen
because I whistled at the high school
beauty queen.
So I tried my hand, at any job I could
find.
But you can't hold a job when you're
singing all the time.
A stable existence, was not for me.
Well I might be poor, but at least I'm
free.
And I'm, off the streets and on the
road
but where I'm heading I, just don't
know.
I'm here today, and gone tomorrow, I'm
on the move so don't
try to follow me.
I've been singing on the streets for
ten long years
for a packet of tobacco and a bottle
of beer.
I've seen the best and worst, of human
kind
and they call me a legend in my own
mind.
Yea! but I don't listen, to praise or
blame
from those who ride, on the gravy
train.
Retirement plans, are not for me
Well I might be poor, but at least I'm
free!
And I'm off the streets ... and on the
road ...
I'm here today, and gone tomorrow, I'm on the move so don't
try to follow me.
