Sing a Travelin’ Song Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Hey little girl, with tears in your eyes
Don′t waste your time now, askin' me why
I don′t know, I know I'll just be movin' along
You′d say that home is where my love is at
I say that home is where I hang my hat
The time has come to sing a travelin′ song


You own a house and a lot of close friends
I love the feel of my back to the wind
The two won't match, you know the cage, the wild would be wrong
You think that love is friends, a child and a home
You can′t buy love on a twenty year loan
The time has come to sing a travelin' song

Someday where we sat in your old porch swing
A tamer man may offer you a ring
A man that wants his friends and neighbors, a child and a home
Don′t waste your tears on love that never could be
What's right for others just ain′t right for me
The time has come to sing a travelin' song
