[Verse 1]
I'm just a roustabout
Shifting from town to town
No job can hold me down
I'm just a knock-around guy
There's a lot of space beneath that sky
Till I find my place, there's no doubt
I'll be a rovin' roustabout

[Verse 2]
Call me the carefree kind
I wander with the breeze
My mind and heart's at ease
Doing what pleases me best
Gotta keep a-movin' east or west (East or west, east or west)
Till I find my place, there's no doubt (No doubt)
I'll be a rovin' roustabout

[Bridge]
And even if a pretty girl should catch my eye
I'll give her a quick "Hello" and a fast goodbye

[Verse 3]
Oh, I'll go the way I want
Driftin' just like the sand
Doin' what job I can
Changing my plans as I choose (I choose)
Long as I keep happy, I can't lose (Can't lose)
Till I find my place, there's no doubt
I'll be a rovin' roustabout
[Outro]
I'll be a rovin' roustabout
I'll be a rovin' roustabout
Rovin', rovin', rovin' roustabout
I'll be a rovin' roustabout
