A song about a drifter who just walks the earth, and is perfectly content about being on the road all the time.

Wherever I May Roam Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
(And the road becomes my bride)
And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave

[Pre-Chorus]
Roamer, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, but I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, yeah

[Verse 2]
(And the Earth becomes my throne)
And the Earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one
And my ties are severed clean
The less I have, the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

[Pre-Chorus]
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
Yeah, you will

[Chorus]
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll never mind anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, yeah-yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind
And I'll take my time anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, that's right

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

[Post-Chorus]
Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam, yeah-yeah

[Outro]
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam, roam
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam, yeah
Wherever I may wander, wander, wander
Wherever I may roam
Yeah-yeah, wherever I may roam
Yeah-yeah, wherever I may roam
