Bm                   Em 
Born to a good father I have no excuse 
F#                                 Bm 
I could say I blame someone but what would be the use 
Bm                             Em 
When I learn to travel now is when I learn to steal 
      F#                      Bm          F#         Bm 
To ride without a ticket now along the lines of steel 


E                         A 
Oh you don't know the things I have seen 
D                D7                    G            F# 
Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family 
E                       A 
Oh you don't know the cages I have seen 
D              D7              G             F# 
Twenty years in and out of the Johnson Family 


I'd harnessed stones and took them to the fence 
I found my heart by moved the shop and always made the rent 
When I met old George now he showed me to the box 
Fresh out the night oh from the day now the money never stops 

Oh you can't know the cages I have seen 
In and out over the years of the Johnson Family 
Oh you can't know the troubles I have seen 
Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family 

Call me a thief and a liar now you know you would be right 
Straight as an arrow I sit here tonight 
All my debts too heavy boys I cannot pay them down 
I pawn my watch and take a walk down to the sea to drown 

Oh you can't know the things I have seen 
Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family 
Oh you can't know the cages I have seen 
Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
