From town to town I roam and dwell

Sing my songs and stories I tell

Gone is the gold and ladies' smile

I'm living on borrowed time

This is me, no guilt, no shame

I ain't no saint, I ain't no king

I'm a man of my word

With a stone backbone

Open your arms

I'm coming home

Don't you say it's the same old story

Don't you say I came too late

Don't you say it was all for nothing

For now I am here to stay

I have a will, hard as a rock

But it crumbled down with the very last drop

Don't ask so I don't have to lie

I'm a rover 'til the day I die

Don't ask so I don't have to lie

I'm a rover 'til the day I die

Don't you say it's the same old story

Don't you say I came too late

Don't you say it was all for nothing

For now I am here to stay

Don't you say it's the same old story

Don't you say I came too late

Don't you say it was all for nothing

For now I am here to stay

Don't you say

Don't you say

Don't you say

Don't you say it's the same old story

Don't you say I came too late

Don't you say it was all for nothing

For now I am here to stay

Don't you say it's the same old story

Don't you say I came too late

Don't you say it was all for nothing

For now I am here to stay

This promise will never fade aw
