Steve Earle — I Am a Wanderer

[Verse] I am a wanderer, feet on the ground Heart on my sleeve and my head in the clouds Eye on a star above some distant shore Wandering ever more [Verse] I am a refugee torn from my land Cast off to travel this world to its end Never to see my proud mountains again I still remember them [Verse] I am a laborer, sign round my neck "Will work for dignity, trust and respect" Stand on this corner, so you don't forget I haven't had mine yet [Verse] I am a prisoner pacing my cell Three steps and back, my corner of hell Lock me away and you swallow the key Some day I shall be free [Verse] And I'll be a wanderer, feet on the ground Heart on my sleeve and my head in the clouds Eye on a star above some distant shore Wandering ever more
