"Wanderin'" lyrics

"Wanderin'"

Well I'm just a lonely traveler and I don't know where I'm bound
Though, that if I keep on moving then I know that I'll be found
I'll climb high atop a mountain, call for he who holds the crown
But until that day, keep on wanderin'

Well now, when the soul wanders there are things a man must see
There are trials he must know and there are troubles he must meet
He must stare in the eyes of evil and know that he is free
'Til the good lord calls, keep on wanderin'

Now, my father was a traveler and my mama stayed at home
And she cried the day that he walked out and left us on our alone
But now I'm older than he was when I was born and I don't know
Which way is home so I'm wanderin'

Yes, oh lord, I've seen your oceans, I've seen your mountains high
I've been lost inside your cities, I've seen the underside
Yeah, I know the troubles that plague a troubled mind
But they can't catch me I'm a wanderin'

No they can't catch me I'm a wanderin'
No they can't catch me I'm a wanderin'
