Time passes slowly and the people are not as good as they seem
It's just another trip most likely every other I've been
The sun is more than warm and the highway is full of holes
I'm never sure enough if I'm on the right side of the road

But I'm on my way
I'm on my way to the ferry boat
Seems like I'll never get of there alive
But I'm on my way to the ferry boat

The rain's coming down on me like the devil in some new disguise
I see nothing ahead and I have to be ready for any surprise
My truck is sinking down in the largest pool of mud
I have to jump off quickly before my body gets in this flood

But I'm on my way
I'm on my way to the ferry boat
I don't care how long or how bad it takes
I'm on my way to the ferry boat

I'm all alone
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
I'm so alone

I got to walk, I need a ride
Nobody's lookin' at me, no one but God on my side
All the stuff I had I lost, and I just miss my cigarette
How can I be faithful to anything if this travel is worse it can get

Still I'm on my way
I'm on my way to ferry boat
Nothing else matters like someone have said
I'm on my way to the ferry boat

Hunger creepin' into my stomach and my heart no longer exists
I'm feelin' a strange kind of pain that causes my mouth to spit
I don't know which way to go as the night falls down
I can't even find a good woman or man to be around

And there ain't no way
I could find no way to no ferry boat
Now I'm stuck in the middle of hell
There ain't no fuckin' way to no fuckin' ferry boat.
