If you can't come along, Love, then you must stay behind You're bound to say farewell to me I must bid you goodbye, though I hate to see you cry But I'm bound for the mountains and the sea Fare thee well, for I'm bound for the mountains and the sea It's so hard to explain, why I'm leaving once again It's nothing that I haven't done before It ain't much, I guess, but the thing I love the best Is rambling this land from shore to shore In this land, rambling this land from shore to shore I have walked, I have thumbed, I've rode buses, I've rode trains I've ridden a time or two in a silver plane When I think of where I've been, I just have to go again Just to see if everything is still the same In this land, just to see if everything is still the same So it's fare thee well, my dear, and I must be on my way There's many a thing I want to do and see I'm a mighty restless man in a mighty restless land And I'm bound for the mountains and the sea I'm bound for the mountains and the sea
