I have been a rover I have walked alone

Hiked a hundred highways never found a home

Still in all I'm happy the reason is you see

Once in a while along the way love's been good to me.



There was a girl in Denver before the summer storm

Oh, her eyes were tender, oh, her arms were warm

And she could smile away that thunder, kiss away the rain

Even though she's gone away you won't hear me complain.



I have been a rover I have walked alone

Hiked a hundred highways never found a home

Still in all I'm happy the reason is you see

Once in a while along the way love's been good to me.



There was a girl in Portland before the winter chill

We used to go out courtin' along October Hill

And she could laugh away the dark clouds, cry away the snow

It seems like only yesterday as down the road I go.



I've been a rover I have walked alone

Hiked a hundred highways never found a home

Still in all I'm happy the reason is you see

Once in a while along the way love's been good to me.
