Well I left my happy home to see what I could find out
   I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out
   Well I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there
   Many stories told me of the way to get there
  
   So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
   There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
  
   Well in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
   Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
  
   I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
   I listen to the robin's song saying not to worry
  
   So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
   There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
  
   Then I found myself alone, hopin' someone would miss me
   Thinking about my home, and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me
  
   But sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit ya
   But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future
  
   So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out
   There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
  
   Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying
   And here I have to say, 'cause there is no use in lying, lying
  
   Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
   Kick out the devil's sin, pick up, pick up a good book now
