Born to Be a Rover - Fiddler's Green

I walked five miles then I took a car

It soon broke down so I didn’t get far

I stole a bike but it was in vain

Both wheels bent so I took a train

The wagon packed, what a nasty smell

Had to leave that livin' hell

Just walk again, that’s what I do

Aching muscles and a hole in my shoe

No home, no friends, a poor man’s lot

Fifteen bucks, that’s all I got

I’m on the road, will it ever end?

Got a sleeping bag and a torn up tent

Rain and snow and sleet and hail

Never stop, I walk the trail

Across the plain, a shimmering light

Sunset glow and storms tonight

Road to nowhere

Startin' all over

Livin' in clover

Born to be a rover

Road to nowhere

Startin' all over

Livin' in clover

Born to be a rover

I wash my shirt by the riverside

Don’t need to run to save my hide

A fireplace by a lonely lake

A pot of stew, that’s all it takes

I’m loving it, my country life

Got a dirty mug and a pocket knife

Wherever I walk, I walk alone

Into the night, far away from home

Road to nowhere

Startin' all over

Livin' in clover

Born to be a rover

Road to nowhere (Road to nowhere)

Startin' all over (Startin' all over)

Livin' in clover (Livin' in clover)

Born to be a rover

The end of the journey, still unknown

Don’t know which place will be my home

Every day I grab my cane

The wind and the waves, they keep me sane

The darkness yields to the mornin' light

Sun on my skin, my spirit’s bright

As long as these feet will carry me

The woods and hill, my life will be

Road to nowhere

Startin' all over

Livin' in clover

Born to be a rover

Road to nowhere (Road to nowhere)

Startin' all over (Startin' all over)

Livin' in clover (Livin' in clover)

Born to be a rover

Road to nowhere

Startin' all over

Livin' in clover

Born to be a rover

Road to nowhere (Road to nowhere)

Startin' all over (Startin' all over)

Livin' in clover (Livin' in clover)

Born to be a rover

Road to nowhere

Livin' in clover

Road to nowhere

Startin' all over

Born to be a rover
