Wherever I May Roam (Live - Phoenix 09.09.23)

["Wherever I May Roam" tape]

[Intro]

[Verse 1] [James Hetfield]
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] [James Hetfield]
Roamer, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

[Chorus] [James & Crowd]
Come on, but I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhеre I roam
Where I lay my hеad is home, let's go

[Verse 2] [James & Crowd]
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] [James Hetfield]
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
Yeah, you will

[Chorus] [James & Crowd]
But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
Do my time anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, let's go

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus] [James & Crowd]
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind
Do my time anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, yeah

[Guitar Solo]
Like right here
Like right here in Phoenix, Arizona

[Chorus] [James & Crowd]
But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
Do my time anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Here I lay my head is home

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

[Outro] [James Hetfield]
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Ooh, wherever I may roam
Ooh, wherever I may wander, wander, wander
Wherever I may roam
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
