You ask me why I wander Why I'm always on the roam Let me tell you sweetheart I've never had a home I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes I've had girls to call me sweetheart But I always say goodbye Cos I only love three people Me,myself and I I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes I keep movin' just to dodge the blues I'd love to stay a while with you A wedding ring we'd chose
But I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes I met a girl the other night Who pleased me to a 'T' Till she puckered up and whispered low Won't you please marry me Then I got sand burnin' sand in my shoes I've got sand,burnin' sand in my shoes I keep movin' just to dodge the blues I'd love to stay a while with you A wedding ring we'd choose But I've got sand,burnin' sand in my shoes
