Lyrics
I have been a rover, I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways, never found a home
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see
Once in a-while along the way, love's been good to me
There was a man, in Denver, before the summer storm
Oh his eyes were tender, oh his arms were warm
And he could smile away the thunder, kiss away the rain
And even though he's gone away, you won't hear me complain
I have been a rover, I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways, I never found a home
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see
Once in a-while along the way, love's been good to me
There was a man, in Portland, before the winter chill
Oh, we used to go a-courting, along October hills
And he could laugh away the dark clouds, cry away the snow
Seems like only yesterday as down the road I go
I have been a rover, I have walked alone
I've hiked a hundred highways, I never found a home
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see
Once in a-while along the way, love's been good to me
