Through the long dog days he'd stick around As the temperatures would climb Then he'd thumb out to Puget Sound At apple-picking time And when the burley came in case He'd hop a freight back home Strip tobacco til winter hit Then off to parts unknown Now not all those who wander are lost, so they say But I don't know if that applied to my old uncle Cray He' get his army pension check And each time without fail He'd throw a drunk and get locked up And Daddy would go his bail Once he hitched a ride to town And pawned his purple heart And gave the cash to an old blind man That he met in the park No, not all those who wander are lost, so they say But I don't know if that applied to my old uncle Cray For a time he got religion A month or two or three He lived above an old garage in Paris, Tennessee His pension check caught up with him He drank it up within a day Then back out on the road again And the Lord got pushed away Not all those who wander are lost, so they say But I don't know if that applied to my old uncle Cray Daddy found him in the woods One January day He'd passed out and froze to death A hundred yards away Haunted by the memories Of what he'd seen in the war He finally found the peace That he was always looking for Not all those who wander are lost so they say But I don't know if that applied to my old uncle Cray No, I don't know if that applied to my old uncle Cray
