I have been a rover,
I have walked a-lone.
Hiked a hundred highways,
Never found a home.
Still and all I m happy.
Bm7b5
The reason is, you see,
Bm7b5
Once in a while a-long the way,
Love s been good to me.
There was a girl in Denver
Before the summer storm.
Oh, her eyes were tender,
Oh, her arms were warm.
And she could smile away the thunder,
Bm7b5
Kiss away the rain.
Bm7b5
And even though she s gone away,
You won t hear me com - plain.
I have been a rover,
I have walked a-lone.
Hiked a hundred highways,
Never found a home.
Still and all I m happy.
Bm7b5
The reason is, you see,
Bm7b5
Once in a while a-long the way,
Love s been good to me.
There was a girl in Portland,
Before the winter chill.
We used to go a-courtin
Along October Hill.
And she could laugh away the dark clouds,
Bm7b5
Cry away the snow.
Bm7b5
It seems like on - ly yesterday,
As down the road I go.
I have been a rover,
I have walked a-lone.
Hiked a hundred highways,
Never found a home.
Still and all I m happy.
Bm7b5
The reason is, you see,
Bm7b5
Once in a while a-long the way,
Love s been good to me.
