hey little girl with tears in your eyes

F C

don’t waste your time now asking me why

E D G

i don’t know i know i’ll just be moving along

C E

you say that home is where my love is at

F C

i say that home is where i hang my hat

G C

the time has come to sing a traveling song

cefcgc

you want a house and a lot of close friends

i love the feel of my back to the wind

the two won’t match you know to cage the wild would be wrong

you want your friends and love a child and a home

you can’t buy love on a twenty year loan

the time has come to sing a traveling song

cefcgc

someday where we sat on that old porch swing

a tamer man might offer you a ring

a man that wants his friends and neighbors a child and a home

don’t waste your tears on dreams that never can be

what’s right for others is not right for me

the time has come to sing a traveling song
