lyrics

Don't build me a house
With no windows to the world
Don't tie me to a post
In this old town
Don' t block the road out
With your good intentions
Don't try to settle me down

You laugh and say I'm chasin' rainbows
You say I'll never catch the sun
You turn your back on this
Facility of motion
Ask I'd be your favorite son

Don't build me a house
With no windows to the world
Don't tie me to a post
In this old town
Don' t block the road out
With your good intentions
Don't try to settle me down

I'm just a vagabond traveler
A gypsy on some lost highway
You'll find me out on some wide open spaces
And I hope to see you there some day

Don't build me a house
With no windows to the world
Don't tie me to a post
In this old town
Don' t block the road out
With your good intentions
Don't try to settle me down

I see the wind, it's blowin' towards the East coast
I jump a cloud to some foreign land
So wave goodbye with sweet salutations
Wish me well if you can

Don't build me a house
With no windows to the world
Don't tie me to a post
In this old town
Don' t block the road out
With your good intentions
Don't try to settle me down
