If I had a silver dollar for every step I take
If I had a cup of candy for each mistake I make
And if I had a buck a lonely coin for every lie I told
I'd have enough money to sing my song before I grow too old
Picked cotton in the southern sunshine
Sleep in the freezing snow
Lived in a hobo's home
Heard a lot of whistles blow
I've done coal in Pennsylvania
I was hungry in Tennessee
If I keep on living this crazy way
It's gonna be the death of me
This world has got a whole lot of trouble
But there ain't no place else to go
Living is better than dying
And food tastes better than gold
I guess I'm gonna do it my way
And I hope it all comes out right
Since the day I was born
I've been tootin' my horn
Passing everything in sight
Just travelin' on down the highway
To where I do not know
'Cause I've got no direction
I'm running out of places to go
Just coming up on tomorrow
And thinking of yesterday
What you sow you're sure to reap
You know I'm gonna have to pay
