I’m a travelin’ man wherever I roam
All over this land, I’m never alone
‘Cause I’m acquainted with the wind
And me and him keep travelin’ along

No shelter from the storm
No pillow for my head except for maybe my arm
But I’m sleepin’ like the dead
No ceilin’ but the sky and here I lie
And in the mornin’ I’ll be gone

Wherever I will
Whenever I please
I’m howlin’ like a gale
I’m whisperin’ like a breeze
I’m acquainted with the wind
And I reckon that it’s him that’s carryin’ me

I’m the ramblin’ kind
No matter where I roll, everybody stands aside
Lets me rumble down the road
Ain't got a lot of friends
But I’m acquainted with the wind
And we’re travelin’ along

Wherever I will
Whenever I please
I’m howlin’ like a gale
I’m whisperin’ like a breeze
I’m acquainted with the wind
And I reckon that it’s him that’s carryin’ me
