Hey little girl, with tears in your eyes   Don't waste your time now, askin' me why   I don't know, I know I'll just be movin' along   You'd say that home is where my love is at   I say that home is where I hang my hat   The time has come to sing a travelin' song      You own a house and a lot of close friends   I love the feel of my back to the wind   The two won't match, you know the caves so wild would be wrong   You want your friends and love, a child and a home   You can't buy love on a twenty year loan   The time has come to sing a travelin' song      Someday where we sat on that old porch swing   A tamer man might offer you a ring   A man that wants his friends and neighbors, a child and a home   Don't waste your tears on dreams that never can be   What's right for others is not right for me   The time has come to sing a travelin' song      The time has come to sing a travelin' song
