From town to twon I roam and dwell Sing my songs and stories I tell Gone is the gold and ladies' smile I'm living on borrowed time This is me, no guilt, no shame I ain't no saint, I ain't no king I'm a man of my word With a stone backbone Open your arms I'm coming home Don't you say it's the same old story Don't you say I came too late Don't you say it was all for nothing For now I am here to stay This promise will never fade away I have a will, hard as a rock But it crumbled down with the very last drop Don't ask so I don't have to lie I'm a rover till the day I die
