Poppy Smallwood - Never Tire of the Road (Andy Irvine cover)

A brilliant and hopeful song as we come towards the end of the year by the legendary Andy Irvine.
Lyrics:
I was just a small time country boy when I left that dusty town
Route 66 to the Westward when I hopped an old freight down
California, here I come!
By the side door Pullman and my sunburnt thumb
They called us okees, low down bums
And the police on us frowned
Never tire of the Road!
Never tire of the rolling wheel,
Never tire of the ways of the world,
Way out yonder is calling me
And the dark road leads me onward,
And the highway that's my code
And the lonesome voice that I heard in my head said
"Never tire of the road"
California to the New York islands, me and my guitar
And we played in manys a hobo jungle, manys a skid row bar
Standing out in the wind and the rain
That lonesome whistle is a sweet refrain
When you're waiting for some old freight train that carries an empty car
Never tire of the Road!
Never tire of the rolling wheel,
Never tire of the ways of the world,
Way out yonder is calling me
And the dark road leads me onward,
And the highway that's my code
And the lonesome voice that I heard in my head said
"Never tire of the road"
"ever let them fool you or take you by suprise
The dirty smell of the politician, the man with the greed in his eyes
One big union, that's our plan!
And the IWW is your only man
The flames of discontent we'll fan for the cause that never dies
Never tire of the Road!
Never tire of the rolling wheel,
Never tire of the ways of the world,
Way out yonder is calling me
And the dark road leads me onward,
And the highway that's my code
And the lonesome voice that I heard in my head said
"Never tire of the road"
