Next Select the Type Tool (T) from the Toolbar (Also open the 'Window/Character' Palette and set your desired type parameters) then place the cursor at the beginning of the open path as I have captured below.Click to begin.
As you can see, you can type on the entire path
You can use this everywhere you make a path.
Hope you like it.
