Lyrics

Wherever I May Roam

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

(And the road becomes my bride)

And the road becomes my bride

I have stripped of all but pride

So in her I do confide

And she keeps me satisfied

Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave

Only knowledge will I save

To the game you stay a slave

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will, yeah

Oh!

But I'll take my time anywhere

Free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home, yeah

(And the Earth becomes my throne)

And the Earth becomes my throne

I adapt to the unknown

Under wandering stars I've grown

By myself, but not alone

I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean

Less I have, the more I gain

Off the beaten path I reign

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will

And you will!

But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll never mind anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home, yeah, yeah

But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind

And I'll take my find anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home, that's where

But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone

My body lie, but still I roam, yeah yeah

Wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam, oh

Wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam, yeah

Wherever I may wander

Wander, wander

Wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam
