Takes the time to stay one place Though his clothes aren't finest lace Read the lines on a tramp's face Taking his time just like you just like me Wandering so fancy free Searching for love in the call of the wild Travelling lost like a child Law has missed him every day Doesn't need it anyway Life is the next meal away A lost woman long ago Does she miss him does he know? Does it matter in the snow? Taking his time just like you just like me Wandering so fancy free Searching for love in the call of the wild Travelling lost like a child Taking his time just like you just like me Wandering so fancy free Searching for love in the call of the wild Travelling lost like a child
