Well I'm a goin' down the road with worries on my mind
I gotta lot of troubles I'm leavin' behind
Oh yes I'm goin' just to see what I can see
I'm gonna get the best of living before living gets the best of me
I hear the crowds are happy in Dallas and Fort Worth
I gotta find what's goin' on before I leave this earth
Oh yes I'm goin' just to see what I can see
I'm gonna get the best of living before living gets the best of me
I been around this town so long wastin' my life away
I think I've done my share of work and now I'm gonna play
I been missin' all the thrills I know I've gotta find I feel like I need a shot of Potion No 9
I'll go to San Francisco drop my worries on the way
I hear there's lots of pretty girls surfin' in LA
Oh yes I'm goin' just to see what I can see
I'm gonna get the best of living before living gets the best of me
[ harmonica ]
Oh yes I'm goin' just to see what I can see
I'm gonna get the best of living before living gets the best of me
I'm gonna get the best of living before living gets the best of me
