I've damn near walked this world around
Another city, another town
Another friend to say goodbye
And another time to sit and cry

Oh, it's many a mile
I have spent on this road
It's many a mile I have gone

Well, there was one, he knew me best
You know, he gave my poor heart rest
He was my world, my heart, my dear
And now he's gone to God knows where

Oh, it's many a mile
I have spent on this road
It's many a mile I have gone

I've seen your towns, they're all the same
The only difference is in a name
And the only home I ever known
Was a suitcase and the open road

Oh, it's many a mile
I have spent on this road
It's many a mile I have gone

So, I'll fill my glass up to the brim
And through my glass, my world looks dim
I know outside there's love somewhere
Maybe, my rambling will take me there

Oh, it's many a mile
I have spent on this road
It's many a mile I have gone

And it's many a mile
I have spent on this road
It's many a mile I will go
