I've been up north
I've been down south
I still don't know what life is all about.
I've seen the cotton fields
I've felt the prairie wind
I've seen the city lights
I've made a lot of friends.
I've travelled by car
Travelled by plane
Travelled on foot
I've seen a lot of things
Will I ever find what I'm looking for?
I'm a wanderer
On a desert shore.
Oh, I think I saw home once.
I think I saw home once in someone's eyes.
Oh, but I couldn't touch it.
I couldn't taste it
Because it wasn't right.
I'm gonna keep on wandering
You're gonna keep on flickering that ole light
My ship may never reach a harbor
But that's okay
I'll be a wanderer
I've been wanderin all my life.
I really love you.
This is the life I chose.
And there's a part of me
Nobody really knows.
My heart gets heavy.
My mind starts sinkin.
I wanna get in the car and never stop driving.
Oh, I think I saw home once.
I think I saw home once in someone's eyes.
Oh, but I couldn't touch it.
I couldn't taste it
Because it wasn't right.
I'm gonna keep on wandering
You're gonna keep on flickering that ole light
My ship may never reach a harbor
But that's okay
I'll be a wanderer
I've been wanderin all my life.
So many letters
Drowned in the sea
Hand-written letters
From you and me.
I sailed away
And I don't know why.
Now, all I can do is hang my head and cry.
Oh, I think I saw home once.
I think I saw home once in someone's eyes.
Oh, but I couldn't touch it.
I couldn't taste it
Because it wasn't right.
I'm gonna keep on wandering
You're gonna keep on flickering that ole light
My ship may never reach a harbor
But that's okay
I'll be a wanderer
I've been wanderin all my life.
