Don't You Say

From town to town I roam and dwell
sing my songs and stories I tell
gone is the gold and ladies smiles
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 till the day I die
don’t ask so I don’t have to lie
I’m a rover till 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 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 away!
