I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a-hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all i'm happy
The reason is
You see
Once in a-while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl in denver
Before the summer storm
Oh her eyes were tender
Oh her arms were warm
And she could smile away the thunder
Kiss away the rain
And even though she's gone away
You won't hear me complain
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a-hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all i'm happy
The reason is
You see
Once in a-while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl
In portland
Before the winter chill
We used to go a-courting
Along october hill
And she could laugh away
the dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday
As down the road i go
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a-hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all i'm happy
The reason is
You see
Once in a-while along the way
Love's been good to me
