Verse 1
Met a man in a roadside bar,
With his life in seven bags.
He said you know just who you are,
When your name’s on no-one’s tags.
Saw a girl with a permanent smile,
And her history was hard won.
I thought she maybe would stay for a while,
But she just kept moving on.
Chorus
Pulling roots and tying boots,
And heading for the sun.
A wandering man with no clear plan,
Just a need to carry on.
Refrain
Travelling on
Travelling on
Travelling on
Moving on
Verse 2
There’s a nomad who calls to the sky,
And he carries all his pain.
He met his love but he wonders why,
He must leave and walk again.
The music man is the envy of all,
With his fame and nights of fun.
But morning light sets him up for the fall,
He just has to travel on.
Pulling roots and tying boots,
And heading for the sun.
A wandering man with no clear plan,
Just a need to carry on.
Verse 3
Your life’s your own now so don’t you forget,
You can choose the path you take.
So pack a smile and never regret,
What you do with every break.
Pity those who conform to the style,
Zombies in their Groundhog Day.
Lose your ties and forget for a while,
Moving on to a better way.
