G C G C
I am a travelling man, I have no country
G C G C
And travelling people are my kin by birth
G C G C
No chains will keep me from my destination
G C G G
And far-flung are my footsteps on this earth
Am D
There's something in my mind that makes me
Am D
Something in the wind that takes me
G C D
Like the dust, I'm blown out on the street again
G C G
Restless highway
Em C/E D
I need to leave this town behind
G C G
Restless highway
Em C/E D
Come see the country of my mind
G C G
You hear my footsteps
Em C D
Wherever this rocky road will wind
G C D G
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
