The Wanderer - Song Lyrics Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down,
Where pretty girls are well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer , yeah I'm a wanderer,
I go around around around around
Well there's Moe on my left and Mary on my right,
And Janie is the girl well that I'll be with tonight,
And when she ask me which one I love the best,
I tear open my shirt and I show Rosie on my chest,
'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer
I roam around around around around hmmm
Well I roam from town to town, I go through life without a care,
And I'm as happy as a clown,
With my two fists of iron, but I'm goin' nowhere.
Yeah I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself fallin' for some girl
I hop right in that car of mine, I drive around the world
And I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer
I roam around around around around hmmm

I roam around around around around
Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around around

I have been traveling around from place to place most of my life.  I spend a year or two in this city and then move somewhere else.  I have not found a place where I would want to live for a long period of time.  I have not found a sense of community or belonging.  Recently, I discovered a small town that is fantastic.  The town has all the conveniences that I want and the people are fantastic.  I think I have had enough of moving around all the time.

I think I will put down roots here.
