There comes a time in a young man's life
When he should settle down
But I've gotta catch that next fair deal
Before it hits the ground
I'm on my way, I'm gonna make it pay
Go ask anybody
It's happened more than once
I'll step out for a minute
I'll be gone for seven months
Got a little bit lost, I forgot my watch
Oh, I'm going away, I'm going to stay and never coming home
Gonna miss me, honey in the days to come
When the winter wind begins to blow
The ground is covered up with snow
You'll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man
You're gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to come
I'm livin' in the highways
Just tryin' to catch a car
It's, "Where are you going, buddy?"
"Well, I'm going wherever you are
I'm satisfied, just to take a little ride"
Life's a lot like poker
You can't win if you don't play
Gonna bankroll my tomorrow
And pawn my yesterday
I'll trust in God but I'll cut the cards
Oh, I'm going away, I'm going to stay and never coming home
Gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come
When the winter wind begins to blow
The ground is covered up with snow
You'll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving man
You're gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to come
I'm going round the world
What do you think of that?
Going all the way around the world
I'm never, never, never coming back
Never comin' home, goin' away to roam
Oh but I won't go to San Antone
Or anywhere near France
That's two last things, I said that's two
I'm never never never ever ever gonna do
Can't you see? It's guaranteed, there isn't any chance
I'll meet my Alamo, my little Waterloo
