Lyrics:
I got a traveling bone on the day I was born.
I left my only home to find what I'm looking for.
They say the world must be round, so I sailed the seven seas.
But searching for a brand new world Is getting the best of me.
I could sell my soul to the Devil for a dime, sell my soul to the Devil for a dime.
I could sell my soul to the Devil for a dime, sell my soul to the Devil for a dime.
I worked twenty-five years on that assembly line
Until they finally made that gear, took away that job of mine.
Now I'm out here on this corner; I got holes in both my shoes.
I got nowhere to turn; I've got nothing to lose, except these blues.
I been on this boulevard since 1969.
My finding work was so hard, thought about stepping over the line.
Now I know someday my ticket, my ticket number’s got to win.
Now a cold, cold wind is blowing down the back of my coat again.
It's such a sin.
I could sell my soul to the Devil for a dime
