"Don't You Say" lyrics

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 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
Don't you say
Don't you say

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!
