Oh, well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down

Wherever my feet'll take me, well, you know that I'm around

I won't put down roots I guess I can never be tamed

I'll go anywhere as long as they don't know my name

They call me a wanderer

Yeah, a wanderer

I roam around, around, around, around

Oh, well, I'm always on the road

Not sure if I'm running scared

From something I've been told

All I know is that I'm going nowhere

Could be something about my past

And my friends that I lost

Abandoned betrayed

Left me so afraid

Of close connection

To anyone

Guess that's the cost

Because I don't want to feel that pain

I've felt so long ago

So if I feel nothing at all

I don't know

All I know is that I won't let

Missing someone

Drag me or hold me down

Walking solo on the road

I won't be anybody's clown

Won't be anybody's fool

Except to myself

Who already thinks I'm cool

If I remain the mystery

I can be legend, an ideal

That's what people will see

Even if it's not real

And if I die alone

I'll die a legend still

Until I tear it all to shreds

In my testament and will

I've thought about having

A travel mate of sorts

Someone to share ports

Share posts

Exchange retorts

and reports

But I'm too boyish and detached

To bother with all of that

I'm phobic of imperfection

I just can't relax

Not with the fact

That I don't act

Always cool and collected

And I don't want to change

I'd rather be alone

You won't hear me complain

You know why?

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

Yeah, I hop right into that car of mine, I drive around the world

Yeah I'm a wanderer

Yeah, a wanderer

I roam around
