I'm so far from home
It seems like yesterday
I started to roam
I'll be back round again
When I can't stay too long
I'll be there just in time to tell you
That I'm moving on
They say that somewhere
Sun always shines
And out in the river
Casting their lines
They're not catching nothing
But they stay there all day
And the water beneath them
Is rolling away
I'm so far from home
It seems like yesterday
I started to roam
I'll be back round again
When I can't stay too long
I'll be there just in time to tell you
That I'm moving on
It's cold in the mountains'
Rivers and streams
And the sparkling city
Will swallow your dreams
And the beautiful desert
Is too hot to go on
And the cold running water
Is just a mirage
I'm so far from home
It seems like yesterday
I started to roam
I'll be back round again
When I can't stay too long
I'll be there just in time to tell you
That I'm moving on
I'll be there just in time to tell you
That I'm moving on
