| I’ve been to Paris, I’ve been to Rome
|
| Seen a little bit of the world that’s known
|
| But it seems no matter where I go
|
| I know this world, it ain’t my home
|
| I’ve got keys to a house that’s on loan
|
| And keys to a car with rust and chrome
|
| I’ve got keys to things I’ll never own
|
| 'Cause I know this world, it ain’t my home
|
| And you take me so very close
|
| But I can’t get rid of this thought that grows
|
| No matter where I rest or roam
|
| Know this world, it ain’t my home
|
| Sometimes it seems a far off dream
|
| Just in sight but out of reach
|
| Don’t know where to go but I just keep goin'
|
| 'Cause I know this world, it ain’t my home
|
| And you take me so very close
|
| But I can’t cut out this thought that grows
|
| No matter where I rest or roam
|
| Know this world, it ain’t my home
|
| Baby, I could try to fall in love again
|
| Find a little house with a picket fence
|
| But you know that I’m just a traveling man
|
| To that distant country in that far off land
|
| Oh, and when my time is used and done
|
| I will see that final setting sun
|
| I’ll leave everything I’ve ever known
|
| And that house above will be my home |
