[Chorus]
I've been doin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been doin' some hard travelin', way down the road
I've been doin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin', Lord

[Verse 1]
I've been workin' in a hard rock tunnel, I thought you knowed
I've been leanin' on a pressure drill, way down the road
Hammer flyin', air hose suckin', six feet of mud, I sure been muckin', I've been doin' some hard travelin', Lord

[Chorus]
I've been doin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been doin' some hard travelin', way down the road
I've been doin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin', Lord

[Verse 2]
I've been workin' at Pittsburg steel, I thought you knowed
I've been workin' that red-hot slag, way down the road
I've been a-blastin', I've been a-firin', I've been a-duckin' that red-hot fire
I've been doin' some hard travelin', Lord

[Chorus]
I've been doin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been doin' some hard travelin', way down the road
I've been doin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin', Lord
[Verse 3]
Well, I've been hittin' that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed
I've been hittin' that sixty-six, way down the road
Well, a heavy load and a worried mind, well I'm a-lookin' for a woman that is hard to find
I've been doin' some hard travelin', Lord

[Chorus]
I've been doin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed
I've been doin' some hard travelin', way down the road
I've been doin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin'
I've been doin' some hard travelin', Lord
