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

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
