I AM A WANDERER
(Steve Earle)
I am a wanderer
Feet on the ground
Heart on my sleeve
And my head in the clouds
I am the star above some distant shore
Wandering ever more
I am a refugee
Torn from my land
Cast off to travel
This world to its end
Never to see my proud mountains again
But I still remember them
I am a laborer
Sign round my neck
Will work for dignity
Trust and respect
Stand on this corner so you won't forget
I haven't had mine yet
I am a prisoner
Pacing my cell
Three steps and back
In my corner of hell
Lock me away and swallow the key
But someday I will be free
And I'll be a wanderer
Feet on the ground
Heart on my sleeve
And my head in the clouds
I am the star above some distant shore
Wandering ever more
