Wipe the sadness from your eyes Force me not to tell you lies While I lay here next to you Keep the fire warm and bright Make me last all through the night Take from me all that you can Fall asleep on me And in your dreams you'll see That there ain't no way That you can tie me down And when morning breaks And you awake I won't be around No where to be found I'll be far away Wait not for me While I'm young and free I will stay but for a day And you will see me Come and go away Wait not for me While I'm young and free I will stay but for a day And you will see me Come and go away I keep my heart locked in a box No loving woman is enough Cause the road I travel's Got a hold on me I ain't got no home address Never striving for success I just live from day to day I lay my body down On the barren ground Camp fire light will keep me Warm and safe from harm And when morning breaks To the road I take I won't be around Nowhere to be found I'll be far away
