Wipe the sadness from your eyes

Force me not to tell you lies

While I lay here next to you

Keep the fire warm and bright

Make me last all through the night

Take from me all that you can

Fall asleep on me

And in your dreams you'll see

That there ain't no way

That you can tie me down

And when morning breaks

And you awake

I won't be around

No where to be found

I'll be far away





Wait not for me

While I'm young and free

I will stay but for a day

And you will see me

Come and go away

Wait not for me

While I'm young and free

I will stay but for a day

And you will see me

Come and go away





I keep my heart locked in a box

No loving woman is enough

Cause the road I travel's

Got a hold on me

I ain't got no home address

Never striving for success

I just live from day to day

I lay my body down

On the barren ground

Camp fire light will keep me

Warm and safe from harm

And when morning breaks

To the road I take

I won't be around

Nowhere to be found

I'll be far away
