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 me
There was a girl
in Denver before
the summer storm
Oh, her eyes
were tender
Oh, her arms
were warm
And she could
smile away
the thunder
Kiss away the rain
Even though
she's gone away
you won't hear
me complain
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 me
There was a girl
in Portland
before the
winter chill
We used to go
a-courtin' along
October hill
And she could
laugh away the
dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only
yesterday as down
the road I go
I've 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 me...
