Subject: Lyr Add: ON THE ROAD TO ANYWHERE (Scott Sanders)
The sheet music is now viewable on Google Drive (put there, apparently, by The University of Alberta, because it is indexed by them). I have boldfaced the words that are different from those posted by Bainbo above.


ON THE ROAD TO ANYWHERE
Words and music by Scott Sanders, ©1922.

1. There's a long white road leading through the countryside,
I roam along each day,
Far away from trouble, care, and strife,
Miles and miles away from all the noise of city life.
See me roaming in the gloaming,
Leading a life of bliss.
Under a sunny sky,
Never a care have I,
And the reason why is this:

CHORUS: I'm on the road, on the road to anywhere,
With never a heartache and never a care.
Got no home; got no friends,
Grateful for ev’rything the good Lord sends,
On the road, on the road to anywhere,
Where every milestone seems to say
That through all the wear and tear,
The road to anywhere
May lead to somewhere some day.

2. When the shades of night are falling over hill and dale,
I snuggle down to sleep.
Through the land of golden dreams I stray,
Till the skylark's song awakes me to another day.
Then the highway again is my way
Over the moor and glen,
Trudging along alone,
Only a rolling stone,
But I'm in my glory when: CHORUS
