Tramping down the dusty highway
I go my way alone.
Never had a pal to lean on
I've always been on my own.

Roaming, along with my dreams I wander.
Roaming, the long road looks good to me.
I wear a smile through the weary miles
that I'm treading,
There's nobody who cares where I'm heading.
Roaming, the birds in the trees to cheer me,
flowers they nod as I pass them by,
and while the sun's shining
in the heavens
and its rays sing to me on high,
A roaming but satisfied man am I.

Roaming, along with my dreams I wander.
Roaming, the long road looks good to me.
I wear a smile through the weary miles
that I'm treading,
There's nobody who cares where I'm heading.
Roaming, the birds in the trees to cheer me,
flowers they nod as I pass them by,
and while the sun's shining
in the heavens
and its rays sing to me on high,
A roaming but satisfied man am I.

On through hill and dale I wander
and I ponder alone.
City crowds, they never attract me
I love to be on my own.

Roaming, along with my dreams I wander.
Roaming, the long road looks good to me.
I wear a smile through the weary miles
that I'm treading,
There's nobody who cares where I'm heading.
Roaming, the birds in the trees to cheer me,
flowers they nod as I pass them by,
and while the sun's shining
in the heavens
and its rays sing to me on high,
A roaming but satisfied man am I.

Roaming, along with my dreams I wander.
Roaming, the long road looks good to me.
I wear a smile through the weary miles
that I'm treading,
There's nobody who cares where I'm heading.
Roaming, the birds in the trees to cheer me,
flowers they nod as I pass them by,
and while the sun's shining
in the heavens
and its rays sing to me on high,
A roaming but satisfied man am I.
