[Chorus 1]
Nobody said that it would be easy
To take away my walking shoes
Cause honey I found I can't settle down
On my road there's another town
Where the people want to hear a man
Who sings the blues

[Bridge]
Nobody said that it would be easy
Stay at home all alone
Honey I found I can't settle down
With you
My road, there's another town
I got to keep moving
I got to keep rolling on

[Chorus 2]
Some say I'm a fool
Crazy fanatic
Dreamer
Drifter
And more
I guess it's true
Like getting static
For a new pair of boots
And the way out the door

[Chorus 1]
Nobody said that it would be easy
Sometimes you'll get confused
But honey I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road
There's another town
Where the people want to hear a man
Who sings the blues

[Chorus 2]
Some say I'm a fool
Crazy fanatic
A dreamer a drifter and more
I guess it's true
Cause I get ecsatic
For a new pair of boots
And a way out the door

[Chorus 1]
Nobody said that it would be easy
Sometimes you'll get confused
But honey I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road
There's another town
Where the people want to hear a man
Who sings the blues

[Outro]
Yeah honey I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road
There's another town
Where the people want to hear a man
Who sings the blues
