Story Behind The Song

ITS A SONG ABOUT A MAN WHO DOESN'T WANT TO SETTLE DOWN, BUT HAS WANDERLUST IN HIS BLOOD.

Lyrics

THERE'S AS MANY KINDS OF WOMEN AS THERE'S DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVIN', AND I THINK THAT I HAVE LOVED IN EVERY WAY; THERE ARE THOSE THAT CRITICIZE ME FOR MY EASY WAY OF LIVING, AND THEY'RE AFTER ME TO SETTLE DOWN SOME DAY. (PRE CHO)BUT I LIKE WAKIN' EVERY MORNING NEVER KNOWING WHAAT I'LL BE DOING, AND I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE FROM DAY TO DAY; AND I'LL GO WHERE MY HEART LEADS ME OR WHEREVER THIS TRUCK WILL TAKE ME, I'LL KEEP WANDRIN TILL I FIND A BETTER WAY.(CHO)WANDERIN' WAYS, WANDERIN' WAYS, LORD, HOW I LOVE MY WANDERIN' WAYS. (V.2)I'VE KNOWN THE BEAUTY OF THE COUNTRY AND THE HUSTLE OF THE CITY, AND I LIKE EAACH ONE IN IT'S OWN PLACE AND TIME; WHEN I SEE WITH YOUR ROOTS SUNK DEEP I FEEL A KIND OF PITY, CAUSE FOR ME THERE'S ALWAYS ONE MORE HILL TO CLIMB.(PRE CHO & CHO) (V.3) WELL I LIKE THE THOUGHT OF KNOWING THAT MY DUST-CLOUD'S FAR BEHIND ME, AND BY THE TIME IT SETTLES I'LL BE GONE; AND I THINK GOD GAVE MAN LEGS CAUSE HE WAS MEANT TO BE A TRAVELER,SO DON'T YOU FEEL TOO SAD WHEN I MOVE ON. (PRE CHO & CHO) (V.4)WELL I HAVE THE URGE TO TRAVEL ANY PLACE MY HEART WILL TAKE ME, AND I'VE SLEPT IN FIELDS AND HAYLOFTS AND ON FLOORE; AND I SOMETIME MISS THE WORDS YOU WHISPERED IN MY EAR TO WAKE ME, AND IF ANY ARMS COULD HOLD ME THEY'D BE YOURS.(PRE CHO & CHO.
