I Was Born To Wander

by Jack Wood

on Born to Wander (1967)

[Chorus]
Well I hear that lonesome whistle blow
I'll soon be gone once more I know
I'll leave my love and I can't say why
I know I'll make her cry

I've been so long in this old town
I've tried my best to settle down
But deep within the heart of me
I know I must be free

[Chorus]
Well I was born to wander
Travel over yonder
The open road and the sky above
I can never stop
I'm like a rolling, spinning top
Without a home
Without love

Now I see that clear blue sky above
I'm on that road going from my love
She knows now it can never be
My heart and soul are free

[Chorus]
Well I was born to wander
Travel over yonder
The open road and the sky above
I can never stop
I'm like a rolling, spinning top
Without a home
Without love
