 I am a travelling man, I have no country

 And travelling people are my kin by birth

 No chains will keep me from my destination

 And far-flung are my footsteps on this earth

 There's something in my mind that makes me

Something in the wind that takes me

Like the dust, I'm blown out on the street again

 Restless highway

 I need to leave this town behind

 Restless highway

 Come see the country of my mind

 You hear my footsteps

 Wherever this rocky road will wind

 This empty restless highway is my heart

By way of trade I am anything you fancy

I'll sew your purse, I'll milk your garden cow

I'll shine your shoes or sew your silver button

I'll punch your nose, I'll sharpen up your plough

There's something in my mind that makes me

Something in the wind that takes me

Like the dust, I'm blown out on the street again

Restless highway

I need to leave this town behind

Restless highway

Come see the country of my mind

You hear my footsteps wherever this rocky road will wind

This empty restless highway is my heart

Restless highway

I need to leave this town behind

Restless highway

Come see the country of my mind

You hear my footsteps wherever this rocky road will wind

This empty restless highway is my heart

This empty restless highway is my heart
