This is my song of the open road,
Advice for the young, memories for the old
Many stories go untold
That's why I'm singing my song of the open road.

On foot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy and free, the world before me,
The path before me can lead me anywhere I want to go.

This is my song of the open road,
Advice for the young, memories for the old
Many stories go untold
That's why I'm singing my song of the open road

This road will end some day,
So you must take the better way
Don't waste another day
This road will end some day,
So you must take the better way
To immortality

This is my song of the open road,
Advice for the young, memories for the old
Many stories go untold
That's why I'm singing my song of the open road
Strong and content I travel the open road
