I have been a rover, I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways, never found a home
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way, love's been good to meThere was a man in Denver before the Summer storm
Oh, his eyes were tender, oh, his arms were warm
And he could smile away the thunder, kiss away the rain
And even though he's gone away, you won't hear me complainI have been a rover, I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways, I never found a home
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way, love's been good to meThere was a man in Portland before the Winter chill
Oh we used to go a courting along October hills
And he could laugh away the dark clouds, cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday as down the road I go
