Well, I followed my feet all across this land
|
A tune in my heart and a bottle in my hand
|
From the cold, cold East to the woods out West
|
Ain't no home, just lucky I guess
|
|
I've seen the sunrise over the water
|
Howl at the moon by the amber's glow
|
Stole me a kiss from the barman's daughter
|
Threw on my peg and away I go
|
|
Well, it looks like rain and it taste like hell
|
Ain't nobody ever wished me well
|
Tried to make a stayin' in the welfare line
|
I ain't seen free in a long long time
|
|
Well, every town is gone by morning
|
Hitch to another till the sun goes down
|
Found me a box car, one of two brothers
|
Take out a bottle and pass it 'round
|
There's trouble at the border and a far of war
|
All in the water and a shut down store
|
The big bank's closing and the world ain't 'round
|
Jail filled up and the deal gone down
|
|
But I got all I need on the highway
|
Little bit of luck and rainbows too
|
Singing little song for the ones who ramble
|
Hard to carry on like the way we do
|
|
Now I've had friends who've walked that line
|
Spend life workin' for a nickel and a dime
|
They come home ragged at the end of their day
|
Feed on the table [Incomprehensible]
|
|
Sometimes I might have to wonder
|
How's it gonna end for a man like me
|
Slept with rain and danced with the thunder
|
I get a little bit old, I get a little bit old
|
I get a little, tune on the fiddle
|
And then I'll be on my way
|
|
Followed my feet all across this land
|
Tune in my heart and a bottle in my hand
|
The mountains in the East and woods out West
|
Ain't no home, just lucky I guess
|
Never had a home just lucky I guess
|
