C                    E                  
Hey little girl with tears in your eyes
F                                   C
Don't waste your time now asking me why
                          E       D       G
I don't know I know I'll just be moving along
C                          E
You say that home is where my love is at
F                        C
I say that home is where I hang my hat
                      G                 C
The time has come to sing a traveling song

You want a house and a lot of close friends
I love the feel of my back to the wind
The two won't match you know to cage the wild would be wrong
You want your friends and love a child and a home
You can't buy love on a twenty year loan 
The time has come to sing a traveling song

Someday where we sat on that old porch swing
A tamer man might offer you a ring
A man that wants his friends and neighbors a child and a home
Don't waste your tears on dreams that never can be
What's right for others is not right for me
The time has come to sing a traveling song
