I'm so far from home   It seems like yesterday   I started to roam   I'll be back round again   When I can't stay too long   I'll be there just in time to tell you   That I'm moving on      They say that somewhere   Sun always shines   And out in the river   Casting their lines   They're not catching nothing   But they stay there all day   And the water beneath them   Is rolling away      I'm so far from home   It seems like yesterday   I started to roam   I'll be back round again   When I can't stay too long   I'll be there just in time to tell you   That I'm moving on      It's cold in the mountains'   Rivers and streams   And the sparkling city   Will swallow your dreams   And the beautiful desert   Is too hot to go on   And the cold running water   Is just a mirage      I'm so far from home   It seems like yesterday   I started to roam   I'll be back round again   When I can't stay too long   I'll be there just in time to tell you   That I'm moving on      I'll be there just in time to tell you   That I'm moving on
