I've damn near walked this world around Another city, another town Another friend to say goodbye Another girl to sit and cry And it's many a mile I've spent on this road It's many a mile I have gone Well, there was one who knew me best You know she gave my poor heart rest She was my world, my heart, my dear Now she's gone to God knows where And it's many a mile I've spent on this road It's many a mile I have gone I've seen your towns they're all the same The only difference is in a name
The only home I ever knowed Was a suitcase and the open road And it's many a mile I've spent on this road It's many a mile I have gone So I'll fill my gla**es up to the brim And through my gla** my world looks dim But I know outside there's light somewhere Maybe my rambling will get me there And it's many a mile I've spent on this road It's many a mile I‘ve gone It's many a mile I've spent on this road And it's many a mile I will go
