I'm just a roustabout

Shifted from town to town

No job can hold me down, I'm just a knock-around guy

There's a lot of space beneath that sky

Till I find my place there's no doubt...

I'll be a rovin' roustabout



Call me the carefree kind

I wander with the breeze

My mind and heart's at ease

Doing what pleases me best

Gotta keep-a movin' east or west

Till I find my place there's no doubt

I'll be a rovin' roustabout



And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye

I'll give her a quick "hello", and a fast goodbye



I'll go the way I want

Driftin' just like the sand

Doin' what job I can

Changing my plans as I choose

Long as I keep happy I can't lose

Till I find my place there's no doubt

I'll be a rovin' roustabout



I'll be a rovin' roustabout...I'll be a rovin' roustabout



I'll be a rovin' roustabout..rovin', rovin' roustabout....
