Fiddler’s Green
Born to Be a Rover
[Verse 1]
I walked five miles, then I took a car
It soon broke down, so I didn't get far
I stole a bike, but it was in vain
Both wheels bent, so I took a train
[Verse 2]
The wagon packed, what a nasty smell
Had to leave that living hell
Just walk again, that's what I do
Aching muscles and a hole in my shoe
[Verse 3]
No home, no friends, a poor man's lot
Fifteen bucks, that's all I got
I'm on the road, will it never end?
Got a sleeping bag and a torn-up tent
[Verse 4]
Rain and snow and sleet and hail
Never stop, I walk the trail
Across the plain a shimmering light
Sunset glow and storms at night
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
[Verse 5]
I wash my shirt by the riverside
Don't need to run to save my hide
A fireplace by a lonely lake
A pot of stew, that's all it takes
[Verse 6]
I'm loving it, my country life
Got a dirty mug and a pocket knife
Wherever I walk, I walk alone
Into the night, far away from home
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
Born to be a rover
[Verse 7]
The end of the journey still unknown
Don't know which place will be my home
Every day I grab my cane
The wind and the waves, they keep me sane
[Verse 8]
The darkness yields to the morning light
Sun on my skin, my spirit's bright
As long as these feet will carry me
The woods and hills my life will be
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
Born to be a rover
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Startin' all over
Living in clover
Living in clover
Born to be a rover
Born to be a rover
[Chorus]
Road to nowhere
Living in clover
Road to nowhere
Startin' all over
Born to be a rover
