Steve Earle
I Am a Wanderer
[Verse]
I am a wanderer, feet on the ground
Heart on my sleeve and my head in the clouds
Eye on a star above some distant shore
Wandering ever more

[Verse]
I am a refugee torn from my land
Cast off to travel this world to its end
Never to see my proud mountains again
I still remember them

[Verse]
I am a laborer, sign round my neck
"Will work for dignity, trust and respect"
Stand on this corner, so you don't forget
I haven't had mine yet

[Verse]
I am a prisoner pacing my cell
Three steps and back, my corner of hell
Lock me away and you swallow the key
Some day I shall be free

[Verse]
And I'll be a wanderer, feet on the ground
Heart on my sleeve and my head in the clouds
Eye on a star above some distant shore
Wandering ever more
